Honored to Serve: A Night of Recognition, Fellowship & “We Serve”

Lions International District 204-GUAM Appreciation and Awards Night was held on August 15, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Guam in Tumon, under a festive Mardi Gras theme. The evening celebrated the dedication, leadership, service, and accomplishments of Lions and Leo Clubs throughout District 204-GUAM during Lions Year 2025–2026.

The celebration recognized outstanding clubs and individuals, including the Guahan Isan Famagu’on Lions Club, Agueda Johnston’s Alpha Leo Club, and Lion Rossana Tiston, as well as Lion Dr. Matilda Naputi Rivera, MJF, for her contributions as Committee Chairperson for the Reading Program, and Lion Mae Mendiola, MJF, as Co-Chairperson for the Reading Program. I am deeply honored and humbled to receive such a prestigious award in recognition of my service and contributions to the District’s Reading Program. It was a memorable evening of appreciation, fellowship, and recognition of the many dedicated members who continue to exemplify the spirit of “We Serve.”
