MELVIN JONES LIONS INTERNATIONAL MEMORIAL
http:/lions-mjm.org
Located at Fort Thomas (birth place of Melvin Jones), Arizona, the Melvin Jones Lions International Memorial was erected and dedicated in 1965. The memorial is the result of a movement of Lions in Arizona to find a way to honor Melvin Jones, founder of Lions Clubs International. In 1961 the International Board of Directors proclaimed January 13 (birthday of Melvin Jones) as a day of memory each year throughout the world of Lionism. The "Founders and Rededication" month traditionally observed in January is now designated as "Melvin Jones Memorial" month. Thereafter every year on the Saturday closest to January 13, Lions throughout the world gather at this memorial to pay tribute to Melvin Jones and to rededicate themselves to service.
The Melvin Jones Lions International Memorial is a 501(c)(3) organization. Donations of $100, $250, $500, and $1000 are suitably recognized on the Wall of Fame in the Memorial Building. A drive is underway to expand the existing Melvin Jones Museum into a World Cultural Center at this Memorial, with donations by the first 1000 individuals (not clubs) that donate $1000 to the foundation.
