Cabinet Secretary-Treasurer for District N-1

2015-2016

Lion Don was first introduced to Lionism when he joined the Simonds Lions Club in 1984. He was transferred to Ottawa in 1985 for a three year term where he served

with the Orleans Lions Club. He returned home in 1988 where he transferred to the Hampton Lions Club and then to the Pickwauket Lions Club as a Charter Member.

Lion Don has served in numerous capacities at the Club, District and Multiple District level and has been recognized by Lions Clubs International with two International Presidents Appreciation Certificates and the Leadership Medal. He is also a Judge Brian Stevens Fellow. Even though he has been recognized on several occasions, he prefers the rewards of quality service to his fellow man as opposed to awards.

Lion Don retired in 2000 from NBTel as the Corporate Services Real Estate Manager.

He subsequently provided consulting services to a number of telecommunications companies, was the Operations Manager at the Royal Kennebecasis Yacht Club and then ventured into public administration as the Town Clerk in Hampton and currently as the Clerk / Treasurer in the Village of Sussex Corner.

Lion Don is married to Lion Merleen and has two daughters Lion Michele and Lion Bonnie. Lions Don and Merleen also have five wonderful granddaughters.

Lion Don is serving a third time as Cabinet Secretary Treasurer and he is committed to providing all of the Lions of our great district with support and assistance whenever and wherever called upon. He looks forward to working with all of our Lions to ensure that "We Serve" those in need in our communities and beyond.
