The induction of Governor Pruce is in keeping with the Club’s long-standing tradition of having sitting Governors of the Territory inducted as honourary members.

The induction took place during the Club’s Annual Awards and Induction Ceremony on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, by Past Council Chairperson, Lion Marvin O. Grant, MJF.

Governor Pruce was presented with the Club’s Emblem and Vest by Lion President Daphodil Sampson, MJF. He also received a welcome gift of a Lions Club signature tie, presented by Past President, Kedrick E. Malone, MJF.

According to the Lions Club of Tortola in a social media post on Monday, June 3, 2024, Grant informed the Governor about the work of Lions worldwide, especially those in our local community. He said, “We are extremely proud that you have accepted membership into our Club and Lions Clubs International. Membership in a Lions Club is a privilege and you have joined the world’s largest and most active service organisation.”

In response, Governor Pruce commended the work of the Lions Club of Tortola saying, “Clearly, you’re a wonderful group of people, you’re doing fantastic work, making an enormous contribution to your communities, providing great opportunities for young people as well. I hope very much during my time here, both myself, and my wife Rachel, can do something to support you in the work that you do.”
