Doug Schild, president of the Orangeville Lions Club, recently recognized Lions Roy Bryan and Frank Gray Sr. by presenting each with a Helen Keller Fellowship.

A Helen Keller Fellowship is a Multiple District "A" Lions International award to honour Lions members or citizens in the community who have stood out in demonstrating the Lions creed of providing service to others.

Roy and Frank are both past presidents in the Lions organization and have been involved in numerous other capacities within the local community and the Orangeville Lions Club.

Helen Keller was a major contributor and motivator to Lions activities and in 1925 challenged Lions world-wide to become "Knight's of the blind and those with hearing impairments".
