In 2014, the 108 Lions applied for a Bingo gaming licence that would provide additional support to the 108 Mile Ranch community.
One of the specific objectives was to build a relationship with the Mile 108 Elementary School. In the past few months, the Lions have had six bingo events at the 108 Community Hall.
Recently, the Lions contacted Mile 108 Elementary School principal Kevin McLennan who presented some ideas on what would be beneficial to the students. On April 24, the 108 Lions presented a $1,500 cheque to the school.
