Harbour School LEOs Movin’ OutThe Harbour School Leo Club – “Students making a difference in the community”
The Leo Club at The Harbour School in Annapolis has been busy this school year and we have an exciting Spring planned ahead, with many more opportunities to get involved and make a difference. Fundraising efforts have been accomplished through raffles, dances, and candy, fruit, and flower sales galore! A few of the fundraising projects that we have contributed to this year include, Operation Life Support Fundraiser Effort for UNICEF and Red Cross for Tsunami relief, Harbour’s Helping Hands in Africa for children with HIV/AIDS, and The Alex Barnett Fund in honor of one of our dear students that lost his life in January. The Leo Club, along with many other members of The Harbour School family, came together to make these fundraisers a huge success, raising money for those in need in some very tough times.
The Leo Club will continue with its charitable efforts this Spring, through donating lunches to the Lighthouse Shelter for the homeless, running an Eyeglass Drive for the blind, and we will be collecting Coats for Kids in May -- so save those old coats that you may have outgrown and we will take them off of your hands! Members of the Leo Clubs from both Harbour School campuses, along with fellow Lions from across the country, will be traveling to New York City March 10th-11th for The Leo Club United Nations International Leadership Conference. While in New York, Lions will unite to show their continued support and partnership with the UN to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the signing of the United Nations Charter. So, as you can see, the Leo Club here at The Harbour School, continues to make a difference in the community. Thank you for your support!
LEOs Attend UN DayDistrict 22A LEOs from the Annapolis and Baltimore Harbour School LEO Clubs, and perhaps others, joined with LCI President, Clement Kusiak and over 700 Lions at the 27th Annual Lions Day with the United Nations on March 11th. It was a very special occasion on the 60th Anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter. The LEOs learned about the UN, attended the awarding of this year’s peace poster contest winner to 12 year old Cheuk Tat Li, a 12 year old boy from Hong Kong, ate lunch with UN Ambassadors, and heard how the UN helps children and promotes peace throughout the world. They had the opportunity to tour the UN and see the General Assembly in session, the Security Council chambers and tour the great city of New York.
The Annapolis Harbour LEO’s visited UNICEF and made a contribution to the UNICEF Tsunami Relief Fund. They were given a tour of exhibits and shown how UNICEF communicates with the children of the world they are helping.
