The State Council of Governors, during the year 2004-05,
approved an award to Honor Past International President
Joseph L. Wroblewski.
The Award was designed and established through the Lions
of PA Foundation.
When PIP Joe was asked about how he wanted to do this,
he asked that the money should continue to further the
work of the Foundation since they provide grants for
sensory disabilities.
PIP Joe, as he is lovingly called by those who know him,
has worked over 51 years as a Lion to prevent blindness
and fulfill the goals of Lions International.
When he was International
President, Lion Joe's theme was "We Serve Better
Together" and today he still believes in that theme.
During his year of LCIF chairperson, he set a goal of
24,000 Melvin Jones Fellows and raised over a half
million dollars in Fellows. His outstanding service
includes International Convention Chairperson in 1987.
He is chairperson of the coordingating committee for
China affairs and liaison to the United States.
The Wroblewski Award may be given only by a Club or
District, and is only available as an
award to an Outstanding Lion, Lioness, Leo or a
Community Leader who holds "A Pennsylvania Fellows
Award." The award should also bring honor to our Past
International President and further the work that he has
spent over 51 years doing. Preventing blindness fulfills
the goals of Lions International and continues the work
of the Pennsylvania Lions through the Lions Foundation.
PIP Joe is a businessman and he and his wife, Normajean,
have four children: Lisa (Paul), Joseph (Genevieve),
Eric and Marie.
On behalf of the Lions of Pennsylvania we are honored
and proud to be part of this legacy to a Lion who has
and is living his theme -- "We Serve Better Together."
