ESTEVAN - The Estevan Lions Club celebrated one of its long-time members Tuesday night.
Allan Senchuk was presented with a certificate honouring his nearly 60 years of service. The Estevan Lions Club was chartered in 1957 and Senchuk joined in November 1962.
"Our club would like to recognize Lion Al for his outstanding contribution to our club and the community as a whole. He has been actively involved in every aspect of our club," stated a bio that was read at the meeting.
They said Senchuk is a "shining example" for everyone on what being a volunteer is about.
"His knowledge of everything Lions has been our guiding light for every member that has become involved in this club," they said.
The club described him as a soft-spoken, true gentleman who is respected by everyone that has met him.
Senchuk has served as president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and tail twister within the club, and he was also a zone chairperson.
He also owned his own business in Estevan, McComb Automotive Supply, for over 50 years. He started out as an employee right out of high school. When the business came up for sale in 1969, he made the leap into becoming an entrepreneur and has grown his company to 13 employees and two locations.
McComb Automotive supports the community and the Estevan Lions Club.
