Albertville Lions Induct Newest Member

At a recent meeting of the Albertville Lions, Lion Lee Kasper assisted with the traditional induction ceremony of another new member into the organization.

Lion Jimmy Carroll was presented with his Lions Lapel Pin- the international symbol identifying Lions members and greeted by the club with handshakes and congratulations. 

Lion President Rick Kleist expressed his pleasure that the club has grown by two members in the past two months and hope the trend continues as people in the community are looking for ways to volunteer.
