Leo Club's Objective and Motto
In October 1967, the board of directors of Lions Clubs International adopted the Leo Club Program as an official program of the association. Open to males and females, the objective of the Leo Club Program was (and still is):
"...to provide the youth of the world (with) an opportunity for development and contribution, individually and collectively, as responsible members of the local, national and international community."
The Leo club motto is:
Leadership - Leos develop skills as organizers, time managers and motivators of their peers.
Experience - Leos learn the importance of cooperation through community service.
Opportunity - Membership provides young people with a chance to excel, to develop positive character traits, and to receive recognition for their contributions to the community.
Today, the Leo Club Program is stronger than ever. Community service remains the cornerstone of the program. Like their Lion counterparts, Leo club members enjoy serving their neighbors and watching positive results unfold.

Our LEO Clubs' Activities:
"Farmwell Station Middle School's Leo Club will donate $11,622.32 to the Lions Club International Foundation's Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief Fund. The Leo Club is a group of middle-school students that operates as a school-service club under charter from the Lions Club International and sponsored by the Sterling Lions Club.
To spur donations two sixth-grader teachers, along with Leo Club advisors, promised to put on a karaoke "Live 6" concert, if the sixth grade exceeds its goal of collecting $2,000. The concert is slated for Oct. 14, since the sixth grade ended up collecting $11,186.60. The students washed cars, held bake sales and opened lemonade stands. The Lions Club International continues to collect donations, visit www.lions-katrina.org."
