The Santa Maria Elks Lodge named Dottie Lyons its Citizen of the Year, surprising her with the award in front of nearly 200 people.
The Santa Maria Elks Lodge named former Minerva Club President Dottie Lyons its Citizen of the Year on Wednesday, surprising her with the award in front of nearly 200 people.
Lyons was nominated for her work as a board member for the Santa Maria Country Club and the Santa Maria Fairpark, and as president of the Minerva Club, a post she has since retired from. Besides Brown and Patino, 4th District Supervisor Bob Nelson helped to present the award. Lyons was unaware she had even been nominated when they called her name. According to Brown, it was about four sentences into her biography that Lyons began to realize they were talking about her.
Over the last school year, the local lodge has rewarded 14 students as Student of the Month, giving them each a $300 scholarship donation. During the ceremony, the students were informed they each would receive an additional $500. The lodge raises the funds for scholarships largely through its weekly bingo nights.
