This weeks column is to pay tribute to the members of the Magna Lions both past and present. The Lions get funding from local drives such as the white cane drive, news paper drive, and the boys and girl drive. Some of the money comes from the Lions themselves. The club has been in existance since 1925 It is one of the oldest service organizations in the state. Wives of Lions have served alongside their husbands in the Lady Lions Club. Examples of their service include providing eye examinations, and eye glasses for needy children, sponsoring glaucoma clinics, and providing the services of the Utah Lions Mobile Medical Van to screen for blood pressure, hearing, diabetes, and visual acuity. Also the Lions do give honors to the outstanding Brockbank students each year. Financial support also comes from the Lions to send students to Boys State, Junior Achievement, Youth Basketball, Summer Reading, Youth Foreign Exchange, and the Spinnakers and Cyprus Swimming Team. Joe Ribotto has been a Lion for 25 years and was a President of the Lions in 1958-5He now serves as a secretary for the club. We used to have 50 members now we have 17. Joe told how when there was a lot of business on Main Strea, a lot of local business leaders were Lions. Past President include such outstanding citizens as H. Hawkes, C. Huffaker, John Papamkolas, G.B. Peterson, D. Peel, Dr. Brinton and F. Falvo. Remember the tax man in California in charge of chapter 13? Howard Jarvis was a Magna Lions President from Usually the Lions join by invitation, but if people are interested in service they can join.
