Lion President Rachel Enax, Seadrift Principal Dwana Finster, and several teachers of Kindergarten, First, and Second grades

On Friday and Saturday, August 8 and 9, the Seadrift Lions hosted their second annual school supply drive at Dick’s Food Store in Seadrift to benefit the students of the Seadrift Elementary and Middle Schools. Thanks to the generosity of residents and weekend visitors, we collected $254.10 in cash donations and numerous bags and boxes of school supplies. Additional supplies will be purchased at mid-term using some of the donations collected based upon the needs of the school at that time.

We would like to especially thank Dick’s Food Store for supporting the Lions Club and allowing us to use their parking lot, not just for this event but also our blood drives and other fundraising events.
