Leo Club Advisor End-of-Year Reminders

With the end of the Lion year quickly approaching, here are a few reminders to wrap up the year:

  • Don’t forget to report this year’s service projects, as well as next year’s Leo club officers in the Lion Portal. There are several resources available on the club leadership webpage for new officers.
  • There are many awards available on the Leo Awards webpage, including the Leo Award of Honor. If you feel that your Leo club president should receive the Leo Club President Achievement Award, you may download and present this certificate.
  • Lions Clubs International Foundation’s Leo Service Grant is available to Lion districts and multiple districts. Consider working with other clubs in your area to apply for the grant!
  • Share this blog post on Leo leadership opportunities with the Leos in your club.
  • Encourage Leos to continue serving as Lions and share Leo to Lion transition resources with Lions.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for supporting the Leos of SD37, please reach out—I am always happy to connect and visit with all of you.

Thanks for all you do!
