The Carlsbad Downtown Lions held their end of the year party on June 21st. Several awards were presented by President Kay Doss including Officer and Board Members recognition and attendance awards. Four individuals were presented the distinguished service plaque. The Core 4 spent weekends working in horrible conditions and a very depressing environment. They went to devastated areas in Ruidoso and cleaned up properties that were affected by the fires and the floods. Pictured with their plaques are Frankie Davis, Melissa Washburn, Johnny Washburn, and Gemma Ferguson. AJ Alford was presented with a progressive Melvin Jones award and outgoing President Kay Doss was presented with a Life Membership in the Carlsbad Downtown Lions Club.
