On Wednesday evening I attended the Lions Club picnic held at Motz Park. The purpose of the picnic was their year end summer event and also to dedicate a handmade bench in memory of George Campbell, a long time member, who passed away in 2014.
George was a hard working member and very involved with this group for a number of years. If anything needed doing, George was your man and the club was very close to his heart.
Along with Kathy his wife who was a Lioness, they worked every event the Lions had including the pumpkin trot and serving in the lunch trailer at many events.
Hence, last evening was George’s night with many of the group present to honor George with this bench that will be placed at the City Park near the pavilion for all to enjoy and sit a spell.
The Lions Club was very grateful to George for all he did and for his friendship thru the years. He is missed greatly.
Tim Black said that this bench is dedicated to the community in honor of George Campbell and his commitment to Lionism and the community. “I want this bench to be something that his wife can sit on when she comes back to St Johns occasionally and reminisce, and know in her heart that we felt very fond and appreciative of George and grateful for all that he did for us, our club, and the community.”
