Grand Terrace Lions Club Celebrates Installation of Officers and 40th Anniversary

On June 21, 2014 the Grand Terrace Lions took to the mountains of Wrightwood – going a little “wild” for their 40th anniversary and 41st officer installation. The event was held at the Lion’s Camp at Wrightwood, directly across the street from Teresita Pines. The evening was a combination of taking time to thank our outgoing Lion President Wayne and his board of directors for the time and energy they put in during the last year and celebrating the past 40 years of existence of the Grand Terrace Lions Club. District Governor Mary Jane Bodnar and PDG John Bodnar were special guests with District Governor doing the honor of installing the officers. We of course, with District Governor Mary Jane’s getting into the spirit of the Lions Gone Wild theme, welcomed in President – Elect Deborah Seuylemezian and her board of directors. On June 22, 2014 President elect Deborah held a retreat with those Grand Terrace Lions brave enough to spend the night in the wild. She discussed her plans for the coming year. With an official retreat accomplished, she is off to a great start for a year of achievement. Awards presented to Club Members by outgoing Lion President Wayne include: 40 year pin - Roy Nix 20 Year pin - Don Smith Membership Keys - Dani Bubier & Ruthanne Christianson Youth Exchange - Al Chavez Terrisita Pines - Hugh Grant, Dave Radtke & Penny Radtke Friends In Sight - Leonard Sigdestad & Deborah Seuylemezian New Lion Enthusiasm - Christina Lucas, Alexis Morgan &Yvette Robinson Distinguished Service Award - Russell Carter, Darcy McNaboe, Bill Nessel, Bill Sternberg & Doug Wilson President's Award - Steve Barton, Mickey Bubier, Dani Bubier, Jim McNaboe, Kirk McVey, Burt Seuylemezian Lion of the Year - Ruthanne Christianson New President Gavel - Deborah Seuyemezian 1st Vice District Governor Elect David Radtke presented Melvin Jones recognition to recipients Bill Nessel and Jim McNaboe.
