Two members of the Bluffton Lions Club were honored recently. The Melvin Jones Fellowships were presented to Robert Barnett and Gene Long at the May 7 club meeting.
This is the highest award that a Lion can receive and is presented as recognition of humanitarian work done. Barnett recently received recognition as a 50 year member. Long has been a Lion since 1976.
