Melvin Jones Award
Malahide Lions Club presents Lion Frank Higgins with the Melvin Jones Award.
History of the Malahide Lions Club will show that the Melvin Jones Fellowship award has been granted three times since its formation in 1973. At the President's handover on 3rd July, to acknowledge his dedication to duty, to serve his fellow man and the community, this globally recognised award, the most senior award in Lionism, was presented for the fourth time.
"By his enthusiasm, commitment and unselfish devotion to helping others in need, his creativity and attention to detail, his achievement with so many different and diverse activities, all the time leading from the front providing motivation and inspiration to so many others, this stalwart of Malahide Lions has been unanimously awarded the prestigious Melvin Jones fellowship."

The outgoing President, Joseph D Gunning, stated with all humility that it really was a pleasure, a privilege and an honour, to present such an award to such a deserving colleague, fellow member and friend, who emulates all that is best in Lionism, Mr Frank Higgins.
