Several of the clubs in the A5 District presented awards to celebrate their Lions and the great job that they do for the clubs and their communities.  Thank you to all of the recipients for their dedicated service and ongoing support of the values of Lionism.

Lion Janice Carr-Jolkowski, secretary of the Charlton-Englehart Lions Club made a Lions quilt for Lion Andy Poupore. Hidden in the main stitching is inspirational wording to him with his name. This was made as a reminder to Lion Andy how much he is loved and appreciate by his fellow Lions during his recovery from recent illness. President Lion Noreen Lenart made the Lions logos for the corners. PS if you go to visit Lion Andy, you can’t sit on the quilt, it is too special.
