Been a Lions Club member for 35 years? Lion Esko Ojanpera, a current member of Toronto Suomi Lions Club, was presented a 35-Year Chevron Award from the Lions Clubs International by President Sisko Ahola on May 24, 2015.
Thank you Esko, for your continuous contribution to the community by being a Suomi Lions member, and adding energy and excitement to the club!
The presentation took place at Lion Esko’s farm in eastern Ontario, when a picnic and social get-together was hosted by him, his lovely wife and beautiful daughter, accompanied by his fellow club members. It was a super nice Sunday in the early summer, and a little tour around his farm made its mark into the wonderful memory of every member that was there.
