PCC Lion Terry Hartzell
PCC Terry Hartzell is a native of the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, and moved to Northern, VA after graduating from Bucknell University. In 1968, due to accepting a job with IBM he relocated to Linwood, NJ. In 1976 he moved his family to Apalachin, New York, where he subsequently joined the Lions Club in 1979 alongside several colleagues. During his tenure in Apalachin, PCC Terry served as Club President, District Governor from 2012 to 2013, followed by Council Chair from 2013 to 2014. He has also participated in nine International Conventions – Birmington, England, Busan, South Korea, Hamburg, Germany, Chicago (2), Toronto, Honolulu, Hawaii, and Philadelphia and 2 USA/Canada Forums.
His most significant and fulfilling experience as a Lion was his involvement with the Vision Screening program. Notably, during a screening event in Rochester, New York, a child was identified with a tumor behind her eye, a condition that would have been fatal if not detected during vision screening.
In 2014, Terry and his wife, Diane, moved to Mechanicsburg to be nearer to their grandsons -Findley and Alexander – and their families Heather/Matt Crudder and Sean/Leann Hartzell.
We extend our gratitude to PCC Terry for his dedicated years of service.
Lion Duke Brenneman
Born in Hazleton, PA, Duke relocated with his family to Mechanicsburg at the age of one. It was in Mechanicsburg that his family’s legacy in the quarry business began, with their ownership of Locust Point Quarry. Following an accident involving Duke’s uncle, the quarry was transferred to his father, and Duke subsequently assumed ownership after his father’s passing.
In 1961, when his father was unable to attend a Lions meeting, Duke stepped in as a representative and became a member that same evening. Throughout Duke’s tenure as a Lion, numerous transformations have occurred, with the inclusion of women in the club being regarded as the most impactful and positive change. Duke has served as President on two occasions, held the position of Zone Chair, and is a distinguished recipient of the 50, 55 and 65 Year Monarch Awards from Lions International!
Thank you, Duke, for your many years of service.
