PCC M. Shafique Awan presented 2021 President Appreciation Medals to the outstanding fellow club members, who helped him the most, as his associates and members on the Board of Directors, to run the affairs of the club. It is because of the team work that the Club earned 2021-Excellence Award.

At the end of the of the eventful meeting, President PCC Awan announced two GIFTS, out of token of pure love,  for the two untiring and tolerant ladies quoting that:
“THERE IS ALWAYS A WOMAN BEHIND A SUCCESSFUL MAN”

The two gifts were presented to none else but to:

(1) LION NANCY GRAY
who despite looking after her own responsibilities as a member of 2-S4 Cabinet, shared the responsibilities of the Governor, during later’s shoulder ailment which was distinctly witnessed during Convention at Lake Jackson, and above all the sacrifice of the time she gave, which the husband could not share with the wife due to his over involvement in lions affairs.

(2) Mrs. Linda Stewart
who has been so tolerant and highly supportive to her husband Lion Larry to allow him  to spend much of his TIME, to promote the lions activities and to run the affairs of not only the club but District as well, and which TIME otherwise was of-course needed by the wife and the family at home. It would not have been possible for Lion Larry if Linda (a non-lion) did not encourage him.
