Wasaga Lion receives club’s highest honour

A Wasaga Beach Lions Club member has received the organization’s highest honour.

The Melvin Jones Fellowship was presented to Genie Mathers on June 23. The award is named after Lions Clubs International founder Melvin Jones.

The award represents humanitarian qualities such as generosity, compassion and concern for the less fortunate.

The presentation to Mathers is in recognition of her hard work within the Wasaga Beach club — especially in working with the club’s health and welfare committee.

Mathers received a personalized wall plaque and a lapel pin in recognition of her commitment to helping others. The club’s incoming president, John Tindale, presented the award.
