CAMDEN — The Camden Lions Club will host a dinner and presentation Tuesday, Nov. 3 featuring Randy Pierce, the Lions Club President in Hudson, New Hampshire.

Pierce will visit Midcoast Maine for four days, sharing his 45 minute presentation at the Belfast Lions Club, the Camden Hills Regional High School Zenith program, Camden Wayfinder School, Camden Watershed School, and Ashwood Waldorf school members.
