(L to R): Lion Lucretia Nobles (Preident); Lion Jason Hall; and Lion Darriel Nobles (MJF Selection Committee.
The Melvin Jones Fellowship (MJF) is the backbone of the Lions International Foundation (LCIF), providing a large percent of its revenues. A recognition of humanitarian work, a MJF and is presented to those who donate $1000 to LCIF or to people for whom a donation is given by others. The Lyons Lions Club uses the cumulative donations that the club makes to LCIF over a period of time to honor a deserving member of our club with a MJF. The MJF is a tremendous contribution to humanity and to the legacy of our founder, Melvin Jones.
Other members of Lyons Lions Club who have received this honor in the past are Lions John Adams, Johnny Griggers, Stan Bazemore, Darriel Nobles, James Thompson and the late Hardy Thomas.
