Trumpet Fanfare

Last year’s Chevron Banquet at the 19F Conference turned out to be the best part of the weekend through a series of serendipitous events. VDG Crystal had a new printer that printed marvelous certificates, the Marcus Whitman had a large chair that looked like a throne, PDG Marie Vogel furnished a fur lined royal robe, the College Place Lions provided 2 valet de chambres, DG Dave purloined a Viking crown and a trumpet fanfare, and Camera Caitlin came equipped to video broadcast on to a 12-foot screen while Lion Darling stood ready to snap photographs.

The hoopla was setup to honor those Lions present who were 2016-2017 recipients of Monarch Chevron Awards for long service to their clubs and Lions International.  The fanfare, throne, robe and honors were optional and the first few Lions coming forward accepted their certificate with thanks from visiting Council Chairman Enoch Rowland and walked back to their seats without ascending the dais throne.

The first Chevron Monarch courageous enough to be robed, crowned and lauded for his 40 years of service was Allen Aplass of the Walla Walla Downtown Lions. After being outfitted, he sat upon the throne, the video camera zoomed in close, his mustachioed face cracked a hint of a smile and the audience roared.  After that there was a steady parade of great Lions ascending to the throne.

This year, District Governor Crystal will host the 2017-2018 Chevron Banquet at the March 23^rd and 24^th 19F Conference in Walla Walla, WA.  She will honor 2017-2018 long serving Lions from the list which follows.  Of course, the crown and robe remains optional. Your club may want to carpool to help some of your longer serving Lions attend.
