SCTCC Officials say the club members donated much-needed items and raised $300.

“They (Anna Marie’s Alliance staff) were incredibly thankful and appreciative there, plus gave us an in-depth tour of the facility,” said Steve Nusbaum, the club advisor and academic advisor at SCTCC’s TRIO Student Support Services.

According to a press release, the Leadership Club allows students to develop their leadership skills through leading, cultural awareness, promoting and facilitating a campus climate supportive of academic, social, and personal success.
