Melvin Jones Fellowship Awards
Lions Club International Foundation has established a distinguished way in which to recognize a fellow Lion, that is, through becoming a Melvin Jones Fellow. Melvin Jones was the original Founder of Lions Club International and through his efforts we are the largest service organization in the world. The club voted unanimously to award David Ferreira and Sally Ferreira each with their own Melvin Jones Fellowship for their dedication to serving the community in numerous ways.
