HIGH SCHOOL LEOS CLUBS
During its 2003-2004 business year, the Freedom District Lions Club established a LEO club at Century High School. Seven years later in 2010-2011, FDLC established a second LEO club at Liberty High School. Membership is open to all academically eligible students in the 9th-12th grade at these schools. LEO signifies Leadership, Experience and Opportunity. FDLC serves as a sponsor and advisor to these LEO clubs. The LEO’s lead & support community service projects they choose. Some examples of LEO projects include providing school supplies, manufacturing and delivering flower bouquets to residents of Nursing Homes, sending care packages to active duty military men and women, and delivering Thanksgiving & Christmas meals and gifts to deserving families in the Sykesville / Eldersburg community. Each year these two clubs make a positive difference in the lives of over 250 people. Funds to support these projects are the result of LEO fundraising activities such as car washes, carnation flower sales, joint LEO / Lions fundraising events and donations from the FDLC.
