TOMORROW’S LEADERS, TODAY’S LEO’S
By Rosemary McDermott
Want to regain your optimism about today’s teenagers? Then meet a group of friendly, active and dedicated young people training to become tomorrow’s community leaders.
They are known as the Lions Club’s younger members, the LEO Club. LEO stands for Leadership, Friendship and Opportunity. There are more than 144,000 of these teenagers throughout the World. And we here in Thurmont, Maryland are most fortunate to have a group of these youth in the Thurmont Middle School and a group at the Catoctin High School.
On July 10, 2010, despite the gloomy weather and heat, seven young CHS Leo’s washed cars by Food Lion. They earned over $200.00, all of which will be given back to the community. During Carnival Week, these dedicated Leo’s sold friendship bracelets which they hand-made.
More about this wonderful group of young folks as time goes by. We all will be reading about them as they grow into tomorrow’s leaders and continue their support of our community.
