As you can see, we have many events coming up in the next six weeks. Please lend a hand at any or all of these activities. Thanks to all who came out for Ned Steel’s Celebration of Life. There was a capacity audience and the program was a wonderful tribute to Ned, who did so much for Medford Lakes and our Lions Club.
