Summary: Arlo R. Anderson was born in Leonard, ND on the family farm on January 11, 1936. He attended Maple River School #36 during his elementary years and graduated from Leonard High School. He lettered in baseball and football (where he was the captain), was the basketball student manager and a cheerleader. After graduation, he joined the US Navy and served four years on a minesweeper based in Charleston, SC, with duty tours to the Mediterranean, Haiti, and Cuba. He married Doris Holbrook in North Carolina after getting out of the Navy. Arlo received his electrical licenses in 1965. In North Carolina, he worked for Duncan Electric Company. His first two children, Marianne and Rodney, were born in North Carolina. They lived in North Carolina for five years before moving back to North Dakota in 1966 to help on the family farm. A third child, Marsha, was born in North Dakota in 1972. He retired from farming after 40 years and from electrical work after 50 years. Arlo was a charter member of Chaffee Lions in 1974. He was club president three times, and pin chairman and parade chairman for several years. He was known as “Martha Stewart of Onions” for the annual steak fry at Casselton Community Days. After retiring from farming and electrical work, Arlo and Doris traveled during the winter months in a travel trailer. They have spent winters in Florida and years in Arizona and points south. Arlo and Doris did volunteer work at Service Dogs for America in Jud, ND, for the past many years. Arlo even had a dog named after him. The Chaffee Lions Club donated money in a contest to name puppies, but instead of naming the puppy “Chaffee,” they named it “Arlo.”

Title: SHSND Foundation - Lions International Hall of Fame
Date:

Summary: The Hall of Fame award is the most prestigious honor for Lions at the state level. The first hall of Fame awards were given in 1982. Although this award has been a function of the Past District Governors Association, a recipient does not have to be a PDG to qualify but can be any Lion who has shown considerable dedication over a period of years. Nominees are judged by their activities on behalf of their home club, his or her district projects, North Dakota Lions programs, as well as those Multiple District 5 and Lions Clubs International. The committee also takes note of other community involvement outside of Lions. It is a great honor to be nominated for this prestigious recognition.
