President’s Service Blog: Berkeley, California

Lions Recognition AwardRecently, I was humbled to present the first Lions Recognition Award to Lion Bruce Dixon of the Albany Lions Club in Berkeley, California. We’ve created this new award to acknowledge Lions who distinguish themselves in a disaster relief effort, lifesaving endeavor or service activity.

This past August, Bruce saved the lives of two young women just before their car burst into flames. Bruce exemplifies heroism – he was just another motorist who witnessed the accident that put their young lives in danger. He pulled the two stunned and bleeding girls from the wreckage in an act that saved their lives.President Scruggs and Bruce Dixon

I happened to hear about this story and nominated Bruce for this new award. I personally presented the award to Bruce during a dinner hosted by the Lions of 4 C3. During the evening, I was pleased to meet with the 85 Lions that came out to support him.

    President Sid,

    We are all very proud of Bruce and his heroic actions. He is a terrific Lion, and sets a wonderful example for the rest of us, constantly visiting our club, asking for donations to the local food bank, and participating in things like the AIDS walk in San Francisco. He inspires me to be a better Lion, and to do more for the community. Congrats to Bruce for a well-deserved award.

    Thanks for visiting our district.
