Big Happenings in the Leo Club !
The Leo Club will be participating in the Campaign to End Hunger at the House of Mercy, located at:
House of Mercy
The date for this year’s campaign is Saturday, October 7, 2017. The Leo Club has 8 spots to fill. Our shift is from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm.
We will be packing rice, beans and protein packs. This is an excellent family activity and an excellent opportunity to earn required service hours for Confirmation and Boy Scouts. I will be available to sign off on service hours as needed. This is a huge community event and a wonderful experience for the children. Students fifth grade and above, please.
Please contact Mrs. Winch if you are interested in Helping to End Hunger! I will get a permission slip to you and register your student and/or family.
Also happening on Saturday, October 7, 2017, is the Birmingham Green Service Opportunity for Leo Club. Traditionally, the Leo’s serve a Picnic Lunch to the residents of the Birmingham Green Retirement Facility. We are requesting that a few Leo’s attend this event from 11:30 – 1:00 pm. Permission slips are forthcoming.
