2008 – Lion Maria Vega

2007 Lion of the Year by Charlene Armstrong
The Selection of the 'Lion of the Year" is a very difficult process. I asked for selection criteria from several members detailing how prior winners were chosen.
The Criteria included the following: 1. Its purpose is to honor an individual who had contributed to the Merced Breakfast Lions Club in a significant way, and to the community
as a whole. 2. Persistence, dedication, honesty and kindness of spirit. 3. The Lion of the Year Award is not a popularity contest.
This year's recipient and her husband Andy, participated
in almost every club project. And she would often bring along her high school aged children to help out when they were available.
A part of Lion World is a Pride, and as a member of the
Pride, I am pleased to present the Lion of the Year Award to Lion Maria Vega.
Thank You. You make this Pride proud.
