Pair of Belgium Lions procure high honor

Two Belgium Lions Club members were awarded the Birch-Sturm Fellowship last month. In 1990, the Birch-Sturm Fellowship was created by the Wisconsin Lions Foundation to honor those individuals who exemplify undying dedication and commitment to the organization. The Fellowship is named after Wisconsin’s only International Presidents, Frank V. Birch and Clarence L. Sturm, who were supporters of the Foundation. Recipients were Ron Weyker (holding plaque at left) and Roger Karrels (right). They were joined by Lions President Bob Burant (left), Weyker’s wife Lois (center) and Karrels’ wife Sharon.
