The Leesville Lions Club celebrated a longstanding tradition on June 30 with its 83rd Annual Board of Directors Installation Luncheon, marking another milestone in the club’s commitment to service and community leadership.
During the luncheon, outgoing President Lawna Mayo was recognized for her leadership over the past year. In a ceremonial transition, Mayo officially passed the gavel to incoming President Robert Haymon, who will lead the club into its next chapter of service.
The event also featured several special recognitions honoring outstanding contributions by club members. Both Lawna Mayo and Marc Klein were awarded the Melvin Jones Fellowship plaque, a prestigious honor in Lionism recognizing their dedication to humanitarian service.
In addition, Mayo received the Outgoing President’s Plaque and an honorary gavel, acknowledging her achievements and leadership throughout the year.
Lion Bernadine Lenahan was named Lion of the Year for her exceptional dedication and contributions to both the club and the broader community.
With new leadership in place and a continued focus on service, the Leesville Lions Club looks forward to building on its legacy and making a positive impact in the year ahead.
