Many awards have been received in the form of the International President's Certificate of Appreciation, The International President's Award of Appreciation Medal, The International President's Leadership Award, and various Visitation Awards. The focus of The Argyle Lions remains strong - to serve those less fortunate, especially the children, locally first and then throughout Ontario, Canada and around the world. The next objective is to have fun while achieving these goals.
Argyle Lions are proud of the past, proud of the present, and confidently anticipating the future.
