Our New President Lion Jack Ruck
Lion Jack really does not need an introduction as he is so well known by the members and others in the community. Lion Jack joined the Lions in 2008 and since that time has been very active. He had just joined and he ended up as 3rd VP and moved up to Presdient for the first time in 2012/13.
Lion Jack was invtied to join the club by Lions veterans Frank Giffin and Elmer Lloyd, they told him it would be both fun and rewarding. Not only did we get Jack but spouse Linda Dilks signed up as well and they have both be significant drivers of Lions projects and communty events.
Jack and Linda have lived in Georetown for over 20 years and have a blended family, Jack has three children Hayley, Neil and Colin; Linda has two sons Curtis and Brad. Combined there are now six grandchildren, five girls and one boy, Jack is known as Poppa Jack to them all.
Jack worked for many years in the metal distribtion business and was fortunate to travel most of Canada and other countries, now he is closer to home operating his own business Jack for Hire. When not working Jack enjoys hiking, walking and home repairs.
Jack’s goals for the Lions this year is to atract new members, streamline the meetings and inject more fun and socialbilty into everything that we do. Lion Jack enjoys that the club helps the community, generates great ideas and values the friendships that the club offers to our members.
