The Leo District 4-C4 Board (part of the Lions Clubs International) teens banded together to assist the Northern California fire victims. On Saturday, October 28, the Leos delivered 3 minivans stuffed full of physical supplies and more than $1,000 to Santa Rosa. In 2 weeks, the Leo District 4-C4 Board's Northern CA Fire Aid Drive collected more than 100 new blankets (donated by the Peninsula Veterans Lions Club), new and gently used clothing, bags full of warm coats, bedding, food, pet food, kitchen supplies, school supplies, and toys/books.
The Leo District 4-C4 Board includes 17 Leo Clubs in the SF Bay Area, mostly made up of high school students. Elise Kratzer, Leo District 4-C4 Board Vice President, and Dina Zheng, Leo District 4-C4 Board President, spear-headed the drive. Elise explained that "we try to get involved in direct service projects where our help is needed the most - our new board focus this year is Natural Disaster Aid." Leo Elise, Leo Dina, and Leo Ava Romero drove in the 3 minivans to Santa Rosa, and were able to give the supplies directly to families in need, who were waiting when they arrived.
Elise and Dina are planning a Leo District 4-C4 Board trip with a home-building organization to aid victims of another recent natural disaster.
