To celebrate the anniversary of our club charter
[May 1938] 65 years ago, we sponsored our "Lions Clubs Charter Night"
program in Magrath, Alberta on Tuesday May 20, 2003 at 7:00pm at the
Magrath Seniors Center. On May 18, 1938 the Magrath Lions Club was officially created (or 'chartered') with 22 charter members. On Tuesday May 20th the Magrath Lion's Club celebrated it's past 65 years of serving the Town of Magrath with their "65th Charter Night" banquet at the Magrath Senior Citizens Center. Lions and interested guests from around the region including Cardston, Raymond, Stirling, Lethbridge, Pitcher Butte, Calgary, and even one from Australia were in attendance. Local dignitaries included our own Mayor Wayne Harris and his good wife. Many Lion dignitaries were also present including our current District Governor Lion Gail Witherspoon and her husband Lion John. Interestingly, Lion Gail lived in Magrath and attended school here for a while with her family when her father was stationed here as an RCMP officer. The featured guest speaker for the
night was Lion Judge Brian Stevenson of Calgary. Judge Stevenson
currently serves as the Assistant Chief Judge of the Criminal Division
of the Provincial Court of Alberta. He is also a long time Lion and a
former International Lions Club President (1987-88). As a final
surprise, Lion Ken Balderson was presented with a special Lion award
named after our guest speaker .. the Judge Brian Stevenson Fellowship
award.
