Annual Joint Meeting With Lions Club
On a cold winter evening, 13 Lexington Rotarians attended the Joint Lions and Rotary meeting at the Knights of Columbus Hall, and enjoyed Dinner, the food was fantastic.
The Lions started off with the Pledge of Allegiance, God Bless America, and the thought of the day was given by PDG Jack M.
