Mrs June Glennie

Dear Melvin Jones Fellow:

On behalf of Lions Clubs International Foundation, we congratulate you on being named a Melvin Jones Fellow.

The Melvin Jones Fellowship honors Melvin Jones, the founder of Lions Clubs International. It is hte highest from of recognition conferred by the foundation. It is largely due to the growth of the fellowship program that LCIF has been able to meet humanitarian needs in communities worldwide. In many cases these needs are reflected in the eyes of disadvantaged children. Or perhaps made apparent by a common sense of hopelessness shared by the elderly whose community has been unable to care for them. LCIF continually meets needs such as these through the generosity of Lions, and others, who have contributed to Melvin Jones Fellowship Program.

As a Melvin Jones Fellow, your name has been added to our listing of all individuals in the program. These names are electronically shown in continuous rotation in the LCIF Recognition Room at International Headquarters. This exhibit stands as a tribute to a growing network of individuals who are committed to the humanitarian objectives of LCIF.

I urge you to wear your Melvin Jones Fellow lapel pin with pride. It represents your dedication to making the world a better place through humanitarian service.

Yours Truly,

Jimmy M. Ross
(Chairperson, Board of Trustees)
