During the ceremonies, District Governor Beth Kohli presented the members of the new club with their official charter. Members of the Monroe Lions Club, who sponsored the formation of the Fort Wayne Summit City Lions Club, were also on hand to congratulate members of the new club. Additionally, Past International Director Dave Fiandt was present as the Guest Speaker, and City Councilman Geoff Paddock was in attendance to welcome Lions from across the state who were coming to celebrate with the new club. “I am proud to welcome these new members into Lions Club International. Fort Wayne [is] proud to have such a fine group that is eager to serve their community,” said District Governor Beth Kohli.
