CURRENT HAPPENIN’S!
Installation Banquet – 2023
Just as each fiscal year and in celebration of anticipating a new and great year, so do the Madison Lions Club members. Since the Lion fiscal year ends June 30th each year, we gather on ther 4th Tuesday night of that month to celebrate the year we have expeerienced, install new board members and present the Lion of the Year Award.
This year, outgoing President, Greg Shows, presented the President’s pin and gavel to incoming President Dottie Wade. She in turn presented Lion Greg with a beautiful plaque for serving as president.
The Lion of the Year Award was presented to Charlie Anderson, our treasurer. He is faithful in keeping our books accurate and is at every event and fundraiser. Well deserved, Charlie!
Our BOard of Directors made the decision with the funds we have raised during the year, we should offer a scholarship to a deserving senior at one of our Madison County Schools. The $3,000 scholarship was awarded to Mason Roach, graduate of St. Joe school. He and his parents were in attendance and Mason was very impressive with his remarks. He will be pre-med at Ole Miss this fal and we look forward to seeing great things from him in the future.
At this banquet, we had a special medal for Metro Leo Avery SMith as Outstanding Leo for the state of Mississippi. Very appropriate and deserved for this hard-working young woman.
A few of our Metro Leos were at our gathering to enjoy the evening and salute Avery for her award.
Oh, yes, the food brought to our banquet by our members was tasty!
