Jeanne served as CST during the year 2008-2009 and I had the distinct pleasure of working with her for more than a year and I know that the successes we achieved as a district were to a great extent because of her commitment and dedication to Lionism, our district and to those we serve. I also had the pleasure to see her achieve great successes while I served with Jeanne on the Visual Aids Foundation Board of Directors.

2VDG Jeanne Farrow has been a Charter Member of 2 new Lioness and Lions clubs and served in various leadership roles in both clubs including many terms as secretary. She has served successfully as President, Vice-President, Bulletin Editor and on the Membership Committee. Jeanne’s work for these clubs was recognized by her fellow members as she was named Lion of The Year and received a Melvin Jones Fellowship and a Charles Kostro Fellowship.

Her involvement and accomplishments at the district level are extensive. Jeanne has attended the Train The Trainer Workshop and Emerging Leaders Workshop. Jeanne has been a Zone Chair for 3 terms, a Region Chair, District Walk-A-Thon Co-chair for several years, served for 10 years on the Visual Aids Foundation, served on the Mid-Winter Conference Committee and has been a presenter at the Incoming Officers School and Jeanne taught incoming CST’s at the state level, training CST’s who served in all five Massachusetts districts and districts throughout New England.

2VDG Jeanne is completing her term as the Certified Guiding Lion for the new Wilmington Lions Club. The success of the new Wilmington Lions Club can be directly attributed to the efforts of Jeanne as the Certified Guiding Lion.

2VDG Jeanne Farrow’s accomplishments, commitment and success have been repeatedly recognized by various District Governors. Jeanne received the District Governor’s Recognition Medal in 2008-2009. VDG Jeanne has received no less than 5 International President’s Certificates of Appreciation. This is the 4^th highest award a Lion can receive from Lions Clubs International and is presented by an International Director on behalf of the year’s International President. Four different District Governors have recognized Jeanne’s achievements with this award.

2VDG Jeanne volunteered at the International Convention held in Boston and has attended a USA/Canada Forum, numerous State Conventions and of course many District Mid-Winter Conferences.

2 years ago 2VDG Jeanne’s future as a Lion Leader was recognized by Lions Clubs International when she was selected as one of only a few dozen Lions in North America to attend the Senior Lions Leadership Institute in Albuquerque, NM.

2VDG Jeanne is the district candidate for 1st Vice District Governor and will be our District Governor in 2013-14.

During her term as Cabinet Secretary-Treasurer in 2008-2009  33N achieved numerous successes and new programs including the first increase in membership in almost 25 years and the 3^rd highest total donations in the 60 history of Mass Lions Eye Research from District 33N.

I am proud and honored to be able to nominate 2VDG Jeanne Farrow for this year’s Schepens Award and I know she will be a worthy addition to the list of past recipients. I encourage the Nahant Lions to recognize Jeanne with this award just as so many others have recognized her achievements in the past and her future as a leader in Lionism.

Very Respectfully Submitted
