Leo Update – October 2026
The Need for Leos
Leos perform hard and essential work for our communities. From cleaning highway ditches, to supporting our elderly, to helping provide food for those who are hungry, Leos are making a difference. WE NEED MORE LEOS!
The Sidney Leos recently cleaned their two miles of highway, and this is no easy undertaking. Their stretch of highway is on the way to the dump, which makes their service especially important. Their hard work is a great example of how Leos step up to take care of their communities.
If You Missed the SD37 Convention…
If you missed our SD37 Convention in Columbia Falls, you missed something special!
The newly formed Fort Benton Leos sent two lovely young ladies to our convention. They made two wonderful presentations and performed the 50/50 drawings both days.
As Lions, we wanted them to take their share of the 50/50 proceeds back to help support their club. There was none of that! Instead, they gave $300 back to the district to support the growth of Leo Clubs throughout our district. Their generosity and commitment to other young people truly touched us.
Then came the moving part…
At the banquet, they announced that attending our convention meant giving up the opportunity to go on their senior trip. They chose to come to the Lions convention instead—and told us that they knew they had made the right decision. What an incredible example of service, commitment, and the spirit of Lionism! Be sure to see the attached article from their local newspaper. Their story deserves to be shared and celebrated.
Connecting Our SD37 Leos
I am working on a district-wide chat group for all the Leos of SD37. This will give our Leos a place to share their successes, ideas, projects, and experiences with one another.
Most Lions clubs do not have a designated Leo Advisor listed on the portal, so I don’t know who to reach out to in order to get this essential tool into the hands of our Leos. Please help me make this connection. If you are a Leo Advisor—or know who is working with your local Leo Club—please reach out so we can get your Leos connected. And if your Lions Club does not yet have a Leo Club, please reach out to us! We would love to help you get one started.
Our communities need Leos. Our Lions clubs need Leos. And, most importantly, young people need the opportunity to serve, lead, and make a difference.
WE NEED MORE LEOS!
