One for Ruidoso and one for near by Capitan as well.

Farmington Evening Lions Club recently lost Lion Gary Lund. Gary joined our club on October 1, 2001. One of Gary’s favorite projects was the Pancake Breakfast. He worked all stations and always had a smile!! He was great to get sponsors for all of our Fundraising Projects. The joke was, he could get anyone to donate. Some have said that it may have been their way to get him to leave. (Joke!) He had the gift of gab! We will miss that!
