LIONS CLUB HOSTS FOOD PANTRY TREASURER [DALLAS LIONS CLUB j _iSTRICT [4 a3 The Dallas Lions Club hosted Christine Swailes, treasurer of the Back Mountain Food Pantry, at a recent dinner meeting at the Castle Inn. Swailes spoke to the club on the specifics of the food pantry, such as the number of families served, the frequen- cy of the food orders filled and other pertinent statistics con- cerning the help provided to families in the Back Mountain area. It was interesting to note that many of those receiving help from the food pantry are employed, but in low-paying jobs and there- fore unable to make ends meet. At the conclusion of her talk, the club presented Swailes with a donation for the food pantry.
