Ramiro Collazo was our International President in Lions year 1945-1946. During his tenure as President of International, Lionism grew by a great extent around the world. He was the first Latin American to hold this high office and the only one to come from Multiple District “C”, the island of Cuba.
In honor of this great figure of our past and with great pride for Lion Ramiro’s accomplishments as King Lion of the world, Leones Cubanos de Elizabeth created in 1978 the "Ramiro Collazo Membership Award.”
The Award is a solid 18 kt. gold pin. It is given to the one Lion in Multiple District 16 who brings the most new members into Lionism during the period of May 1 to April 30. Every year we request from each District Governor of Multiple District 16 the name of the Lion who had done the best job in his district, and the winner is selected on his record from the five names submitted by the governors.
We hope that this Award will serve as an incentive to our fellow Lions to think about membership and retention. These two words can make and keep Lionism strong in our great state of New Jersey. That is why we cross the district boundaries and reach out to our friends from all parts of this State and urge them to grow in number and participation, for the good of our association, the greatest in the world, THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LIONS CLUBS.
