With his family and fellow members watching on, Matt Wautier received the Melvin Jones Award from the Brussels Lions Club in recognition of his service to the community.

The award is named after the founder of the Lions Clubs International, kicking off the global service movement a century ago. Wautier certainly moves as a volunteer with the Brussels Lions Club. In addition to his role helping run the bar area during Belgian Days, Wautier also sits on the committee that awards scholarships to deserving youth. Wautier started coming to meetings as a kid along with his siblings, tagging along with parents Jim and Penny. He is happy that service to the community was instilled in him at a young age.

The Brussels Lions Club is preparing to host the community youth on Tuesday for their annual Halloween Party.
