Lion Arti Kale received a Melvin Jones award. The Melvin Jones Fellowship is the highest form of recognition awarded by the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF). Established in 1973 and named after the founder of Lions International, it honors individuals who demonstrate exceptional humanitarian service.
Lion Arti runs the Denver Lions Sight Committee, which provides eye tests and glasses to nearly 300 people in need who otherwise would not have the resources to obtain them, thereby improving their lives. She negotiated with America's Best for a lower cost and better service.
