Lions
International recognizes outstanding individuals by
bestowing on them an award that is named for its
founder, Melvin Jones. This Fellowship Award (LCIF) is
the highest form of recognition and embodies
humanitarian ideas consistent with the nature and
purpose of Lionism. The recipient of this award becomes
a model because of the exemplary service to his club and
the community for which it serves.
What is a Melvin Jones
Fellowship?
The Melvin Jones Fellowship is recognition of a
commitment to humanitarian work. (It is not an award in
the tradition of Lions awards presented for specific
accomplishments.) The fellowship is an honor given to
individuals who contribute the equivalent of US$1,000 to
LCIF, and persons for whom such donations are made by
others. The fellowship is the foundation's highest honor
and represents humanitarian qualities such as
generosity, compassion, and concern for the less
fortunate. Melvin Jones Fellows receive a lapel pin and
a personalized wall plaque in honor of their commitment
to helping others.
