He contributed countless time and effort to the community and development of the club. He was also a great mentor to many of our members. Thanks for PCC Dale St. John and Lions from the district, a Lions service was held at Elgin Mill Cemetery in October 20th. We will always remember Lions Alfred as we serve.
