MELVIN JONES FELLOWSHIP

Created in 1973, the Melvin Jones Fellowship is named for the founder of Lions Clubs International, Melvin Jones.

The Melvin Jones Fellowship Award is in recognition of a commitment to humanitarian service. It is not an award in the tradition of Lions awards presented for specific accomplishments. The fellowship is LCIF's highest honor and represents humanitarian qualities such as generosity, compassion, and concern for the less fortunate.

The Club is proud to honor Catherine and James Holdridge for their outstanding humanitarianism. The Melvin Jones Fellowship Award was presented to them June 2024.
