The Melvin Jones Fellowship Program was established in 1973 in honour of Melvin Jones, the founder of Lions Clubs International. The MJF program recognizes donations of US$1,000 to Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF). 

Lions International recognizes outstanding individuals by bestowing on them an award that is named for its founder, Melvin Jones.  The Melvin Jones Fellowship Award, presented by the Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF), is the highest form of recognition and embodies humanitarian ideas consistent with the nature and purpose of Lionism.  The recipients of this award are model Lions because of their exemplary service to their club and the community which it serves.
 
New MJFs receive a pin, commemorative plaque and a letter from the LCIF Chairperson. 

“Dignity does not consist in possessing honours but deserving them”.  Aristotle

The Lions Club of Park Orchards has awarded the MJF to the members as listed below
