The Lord Baltimore Lions Club held its final meeting of the service year June 16 at Mac’s Catering in Millville.

Guest speaker Lions District 22-D District Gov.-elect David Mitchell attended with his spouse Linda. Mitchell spoke briefly to members and shared some ideas he has for his term in office that will begin in July.
