Lion Jerry Kennerk, the incoming Club President, was selected as the club's Lion of the Year for his dedicated service to the Sebastian Lions Club and its programs, as well as his untiring and devoted service both as a board member of the Florida Lions Camp and his "hands on" service at the camp to improve the cabins maintained by the Sebastian Lions.
