WACHUSETT \u2014 Do you want to serve your community?<\/p>\n

The Wachusett Regional High School Leo Club is rebuilding after a year-and-a-half hiatus due to COVID-19 concerns.<\/p>\n

Leos stand for Leadership, Experience and Opportunity.<\/p>\n

LEADERSHIP: LEO members acquire skills as project organizers and motivators of their peers.<\/p>\n

EXPERIENCE: LEOs discover how teamwork and cooperation can bring a positive change in their communities.<\/p>\n

OPPORTUNITY: LEOs develop strong character traits and receive personal gratification for their accomplishments.<\/p>\n

The WRHS LEO Club, first sponsored by the Paxton Lions Club eight years ago, is a very successful organization. Join a worldwide organization, associated with Lions Clubs International with over 175,000 members in 7,000 clubs in 145 countries.<\/p>\n

Some of the club\u2019s accomplishments: Volunteering at Seven Hills; helping the visually impaired community with WALKFIT – learning how to guide and experience the world of the blind; being involved in school events, such as craft fairs; helping area seniors with outdoor projects such as raking and snow removal; cleanup projects at state parks and Clara Barton Diabetes Foundation camps; meeting other state Leos at an annual conference; collecting warm coats for refugees from Afghanistan; organizing and participating in a walk for Alzheimers.<\/p>\n

The club is a social opportunity to meet and work with many of your schoolmates. It promotes leadership and an opportunity to share your leadership skills.<\/p>\n

Public service is very important to all. Leos can lead to a lifetime of service in our towns and the world. There are many people who need a helping hand, and serving other can bring you a warm feeling that you have helped someone less fortunate than you.<\/p>\n

The WRHS Leo Club <\/b>meets every other Thursday morning at 7 a.m. There will be service projects throughout the year. The next meeting is Thursday, Oct. 20, in Room B108 at the high school Let\u2019s make a difference in our school and community.<\/p>\n

Hours spent in Leos count toward your National Honor Society\u2019s Community Service requirement. Most colleges are looking for potential students who have given community service.<\/p>\n
