Every other year for the past several years the Seeley Lake Lions Club has produced and distributed free of charge to the community members a regional phone book as a fund-raising endeavor. Funds are raised through the sale of advertisements. This phone book covers Seeley Lake, Condon, Ovando, Helmville, and Potomac and includes the local phone numbers of residents.
Over the past month the Seeley Lake Lions Club Phone Book Committee has been diligently working to verify our list of advertisers through emails followed up by personal contact. Surprisingly a significant number of respondents expressed the opinion that a phone book was old-school, and probably not used any more. Unfortunately, with the proliferation of smart phones, where information is available at your fingertips, along with the social programs such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, it is unlikely the phone book of past years can be duplicated. With the significant drop in revenue from advertisers coupled with substantial increases in publication costs it makes the continuance of producing such a phone book problematic.
As a result, the Seeley Lake Lions Club Board of Directors voted heretofore to cease publishing the regional phonebook.
The Seeley Lake Lions Club would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for its support and we look forward to continuing to serve you in the future through the many other community service projects and programs we provide. Our motto is WE SERVE! We thank you for your loyalty.
