Summary: Jack joined the Mandan Lions Club in 1969, and held every office except secretary/treasurer. He was president of the club in 1977-1978 and was again serving as club president at the time of his death. When asked, “Why are you a Lion?” Jack answered, “When I came to Mandan in 1969, former Morton County agent Jim Noonan said, ‘All county agents are Lions!’ So, I became a Lion and I remain a Lion by choice.” John T. “Jack” Stewart married Dorothy (Molenaar) on June 24, 1947 in Gilby, North Dakota. Jack and Dorothy were parents to three sons: Jeff, Reid, and Gregg; and had eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Raised and educated in Gilby, Jack entered the Army Air Corp in 1943 and served for 29 months. Returning to Fargo, he attended and graduated from NDSU (then NDAC) in 1950. Jack and Dorothy moved to Park River and he taught agriculture education for four years. He purchased a farm in 1951 and actively farmed until 1963. Jack worked for NDSU Extension Service from December 1961 until June 1990. During those years he worked in Hillsboro, Mohall, and finished his career in Mandan. He and his family moved to Mandan in January of 1969 where they lived for over 40 years. Jack and Dorothy were always active church members. Jack served six years as active elder (three years as clerk of session) in the 1970’s. Jack was asked to fill an unexpired term in 2003 and thus was an active elder for two more years. Jack attended one USDA/Canada Forum, one Train the Trainer session, five International Conventions, and many Multiple District and State Conventions. He was zone chair in 1984-1985 and region chair in 1991-1992. Jack served as the 5NW District Governor in 1992-1993, all three North Dakota district governors were awarded the 100% District Governor Award. John T. “Jack” Stewart died January 17, 2013 at the age of 87. He was preceded in death by his wife, Lion Dorothy, in August 2010.

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.
