Melvin Jones Awards and Progressive Melvin Jones Awards

 

The MJF Program was established in 1973 in honor of Melvin Jones, the founder of Lions Clubs International. The MJF is a recognition of unrestricted donations of US$1,000 to Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF). New MJFs receive a pin, commemorative plaque and a letter from the LCIF Chairperson. If the donor so chooses, he/she may use their donations credit to recognize another individual with an MJF.

For those who are already an MJF, the Progressive Melvin Jones Fellowship (PMJF) provides an opportunity to advance in the Fellowship program. For each subsequent donation of US$1,000 beyond the initial MJF donation, donors receive a new level of recognition, signified by a unique PMJF pin in accordance with their level of giving. The PMJF program has 100 levels, representing gifts between US$2,000 – US$100,000. Like MJFs, donors can honor another individual with PMJF donations.

The Knight of the Blind program was started as part of the Foundation’s capital campaign to raise the needed funds to create the Institute.  As our history shows the Lions Foundation at Albany was incorporated on December 9, 1990.  Its purpose was to give monetary support to the doctors and staff in ophthalmology research and to assist those in financial need to obtain the necessary and appropriate eye care.  The Lions Eye Institute of Albany Inc. is a partnership between the doctors and the Lions of MD20 sub-districts  O, W and Y2 and the International Association of Lions Clubs.  We are one of eight facilities in the US.  Since the Institute’s beginning we have helped in the treatment of over half million patients.

 

LIONS FOUNDATION AT ALBANY, NY Inc.

KNIGHT OF THE BLIND PROGRAM

In 1925, Helen Keller challenged Lions to become Knights of the Blind and many Lions in Districts 20-0, 20-Y2, and 20-W have taken up that challenge by supporting the Lions Eye Institute (LEI) through their donations to the Lions Foundation at Albany, NY Inc. (LFA)

The Lions Eye Institute, on New Scotland Avenue in Albany, serves as the Department of Ophthalmology at Albany Medical College, with specialists in advanced fields training residents, conducting research, and providing patient care to thousands of children and adults with difficult or specialized problems.  In a tight economy, many of these patients do not have insurance or the necessary funds to pay for their treatment and this is where Lions can also help.  The majority of the funds raised by the Lions Foundation at Albany, NY, in support of the Lions Eye Institute are used to help these patients get the care they so desperately need. Gifts to the Foundation also support the ophthalmology residency program and research at the LEI.

One of the major sources of funding for the LEI is the Knight of the Blind program.  Donations come from Lions Clubs as well as from individuals who make donations either toward their own Knight of the Blind award or in memory or honor of someone else.  Honorees can also be individuals or organizations not directly affiliated with a Lions organization.  Donations for an award can be given as a single amount or can be given over time.  All donations received from a club or individual are tracked by the Foundation.  When the amount received reaches an award level, the individual or Club will be notified and honored with an award.  A Knight of the Blind will receive a framed certificate or plaque recognizing their award status, a lapel pin, and are listed on the Wall of Honor at the Lions Eye Institute.  Clubs receiving a Knight of the Blind award will receive a banner patch with a corresponding chevron denoting the specific award level.

There are four levels of the Award.

• Knight of the Blind - $500

• Bronze Lion - $1,000

• Silver Lion - $5,000

• Gold Lion - $10,000 and more

Checks should be made payable to the Lions Foundation at Albany, NY Inc.

 Donations can be sent to the:

Lions Foundation at Albany, NY Inc.

1220 New Scotland Road, Suite 102

Slingerlands, NY 12159

STARTED IN 1978 OR 1979 (ALONG WITH GIFT OF GAVEL TO NEW CHARTERED CLUB)

WHEN PID JACK WEBER WAS PRESIDENT OF THE PAST DISTRICT GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION

         
THE PDG'S OF EACH DISTRICT VOTE FOR A LION IN THEIR DISTRICT WHO SHOWS OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP QUALITIES ON A PARTICULAR PROJECT. NO PDG IS ELIGIBLE. GIVEN TO A GRASSROOTS LION, A LION WHO WORKED IN THE TRENCHES TO MAKE CLUB OR DISTRICT PROJECTS SUCCESSFUL.

This honor is presented each spring at the MD20 Convention to one Lion from each District.  Notice is sent to all club presidents in the late fall, and there are usually several deserving candidates nominated each year for this prestigious award.  The Past District Governors of our district consider all applications for contributions of time, talent and resources, leadership qualities, sustained period of involvement, significant accomplishments in service and fundraising, participation in conferences, forums and conventions, and development of unique approaches to Club projects and problem solving.
