Leos Club sends $1,858 to Camp Fire victims

SEELEY LAKE – Seeley-Swan High School students and the community raised $679 from ticket sales for their gift tote to help communities in California affected by the wildfires. With matching funds from Leos Club and Seeley Lake Lions Club, the SSHS Leos Club is sending a check for $1858 to the Chico Breakfast Lions Club to purchase gift cards for those displaced by the Camp Fire in Northern California.

Leos Club advisor Lion Mary Stone is grateful for the community support, especially from the Seeley Lake Lions Club.

"It really motivates these kids to develop their leadership skills and encourages them to commit to serving others," wrote Stone in an email. "I don't think this kind of effort would be possible without the strong support from the community, the staff at the high school, and fellow students."
