Lions Install President Doug Kayle and New Board

PCC/PDG Sharon Parker congratulates the newly installed Board of Directors at the Installation Dinner at Rebman's On The Avenue Thursday, June 7.  She challenged them to live the Lions motto of "WE SERVE" as they carry out their duties for the 2012-2013 year.

Past President Lion Bob Kayle proudly passes to son Lion President Doug Kayle the gavel he received from Lion Dale Brobst years ago when he served as President of the Lorain Lions Club.  This was a meaningful and rare event in the Lorain Lions Club history of 90 years of service to Lorain and Lions.

Lorain High Leo Club incoming president Kern Baxter receives an award for service to Leo Clubs from PCC/PDG Lion Sharon Parker, who was especially moved by the honor of presenting the award, because her husband, PDG Dick Parker established the first Leo Club at Lorain/Admiral King High School almost 15 years ago and served for several years before passing away in 1985.

Lion Ben Norton receives a pin award for bringing in Lion member Glenn Owen in 2011.

Lion Mark Worden receives a pin award for bringing in Lion member Paul Trimble in 2011.
