The John Lake Memorial Trophy commemorates “Shakey,” a lifelong Penguin member whose unwavering commitment spanned decades. This annual award is presented to an individual who embodies John’s selfless spirit, stepping forward in any capacity—whether leading from the front in “pole position” or providing essential support in the background.
The recipient is defined by a quiet strength and a willingness to go above and beyond for our members. Much like John, they are a dependable presence who looks out for others, helping everyone find their way while ensuring our club’s culture and values are protected through every challenge.
This award celebrates an individual who truly embraces the Penguin family, demonstrating the same passion and dedication that John Lake championed throughout his 80 years. It is a tribute to those who, through their heart and hard work, make our club a better place for everyone.
