Named for the founder of Lions Clubs International, Melvin Jones, the fellowship is the foundation’s highest honor. It is a recognition of commitment to humanitarian service.

All four are members of the Nisswa Lions Club. Each received a finely crafted plaque and lapel pin acknowledging their dedication to the foundation’s humanitarian goals.
