Lion President Doug shares emotional farewell remarks as president and recalled the many accomplishments of the past year, including a very memorable 90th Anniversary celebration at last summer's International Festival with an award winning float, the Ohio School for the Blind Marching Band and a 90th anniversary Monarch night with a portrayal of Helen Keller by Lion Jackie Christensen of the Canal Winchester Lions in Franklin County.  It was a great year, saddened only by the loss of three dedicated Lions:  Paul Trimble, Vern Brown and Harold Lee.  CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS TO LION DOUG KAYLE FOR THE GREAT LEADERSHIP AND VISION HE PROVIDED THE LORAIN LIONS THIS PAST YEAR--THERE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN A BETTER PERSON TO LEAD US DURING OUR 90TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR!!!
