The Lion of the Year award is chosen by the club president and is a great honor to those members who receive it. Just some of the criteria used in selecting candidates are: participation in activities, membership development, programs, committees, and the community, serving as an officer, dependability, sincerity of purpose, positive attitude and leadership, plus demonstrated abilities in communication and organization.
Two of the most recent recipients of this honor are Joe Keegan and Joe Quaresima shown below.
