In Memoriam:

Lion Milt Brand was a 52 year Lion, a Life member, a Melvin Jones Fellow and Progressive Fellow – Diamond, a veteran of World War 2, and a Tail Twister for a number of years in our club. After moving to Roswell to be with his family he transferred from his Arizona Lions Club to the Roswell Lions Club.

As Tailtwister and Tailtwister”Emeritus” he started the tradition in our club of the Happy and Sad dollar. For a dollar you got to stand up and share something happy or sad in your life and family. He also took the time to recognize Lions for their service and their anniversary dates.

Always there to greet you, shake your hand with his huge smile – you always left his side feeling better about yourself. He made yo feel special.

We will certainly miss his warm greetings, positive outlook and cheerful demeanor!

Milt Brand, a Lion among Lions! LIONS – Loving Individuals Offering Needed Services
