Dick Sware, immediate past district governor for Lancaster and Lebanon County Lions Clubs, recently recognized several Willow Street Lions Club members for their service.

Sharon Grager, Jeanie Sware and Second Vice District Governor Deb Keeports each received a Lions of Pennsylvania Fellowship Award. This organization's mission includes assisting those with sensory impairment, particularly those with vision and hearing deficits.

Past District Governor Bill Grager and Lions member Lori Eshleman were recognized with a brick in their name, which will be on display at Pennsylvania Lions Beacon Lodge Camp located in Mount Union. Owned by the Pennsylvania Lions, the camp is for individuals with special needs.

Grager was also presented with an award through Leader Dogs for the Blind. This organization, located in Rochester, Mich., and founded in 1939 by several Lions Club members, has matched and graduated over 13,000 person and dog teams since its inception.
