Four years after taking the reigns as Payson Lions Club president, Rhett Huff turned them over to a new leader July 14.  Elected president, longtime Lion and successful former business owner Sandy Huff is expected to continue the tradition of strong leadership club members have come to know.

Ms. Huff was sworn in as Payson Lions Club’s new president alongside its newly elected Second Vice President, Breanne Moore.  Miss Moore will soon enhance her capacity to serve at rank as a participant in the 40th USA/Canada Leadership Forum in Omaha, Nebraska.

Mr. Huff was elected as Utah District 28 T Governor.  He was sworn into his new role by 2016-17 Lions International President, Chancellor Bob Corlew.  The ceremony took place while Huff and wife, Jennifer, attended the 99th Lions Clubs International Convention, held in Fukuoka, Japan, in June.

Last week’s meeting, held at Doug and Sandy Huff’s home in Spring Lake, was bittersweet for the now former president of the Payson Lions Club.  While he turned over the Payson Lions reigns, he was also privileged to swear in daughter Sierra Huff as a new club member.  Sierra is an accomplished 2016 Payson High School graduate who will begin her studies at Snow College this fall on a full academic scholarship.

Sierra’s oath-taking was followed that evening by two additional new members, Jen Nelson and Neil Millman.  Lion Tail Twister Ned Deuel’s charm as oath-giver was in full form as he swore Ms. Nelson and Mr. Millman into the club as new members.
