Chicago Central Lions Club. The mother club of Lionism.











For those who don't know, I was lucky enough to meet Richard Carlson, Secretary of the Chicago Central Lions Club when he visited Burnie 23rd February 2009. Since then we have exchanged item of memorabilia as in pins and friendship flags (Bannerettes). The pins seen are the Chicago Central Lions Club pin, and the now rare 90th anniversary of the club Melvin Jones was a member of. As far as I know only two or possibly three of these pins are in Australia, two here in Tasmania and maybe a third in NSW. The other one in Tasmania was sent to District Governor Tony Roney as a surprise on my instigation.

Thank you Lion Richard for that, and congratulations on your election as Secretary for an 11th term. Your profile worries me as to how you find the time to do all you do.
