Upcoming: Late September; "Club Rush" membership drives for each club.

the LB VA hospital and hand the cards out to the veteran's.
April: Both Clubs attended the "Orphanages of Thailand" Fundraiser, at
the Rachada
Restaurant in Santa Fe Springs. We went there in large numbers 12 and 10 respectively,
and were the largest group to participate.
April: District Talent show: Good participation from either club equates to good results, usually top three placement in the contest.
May: Deadline for Leos to hand in their "Bob Burnett / David
Crawford" scholorship
applications.
June: Scleroderma Walk in La Mirada; Leos help set up everything, and oversee the kid activities.
Early June: Joint Club "end of Year" party and installation of officers.
June: Starting
the 2011-2012 school year, deserving Leos of both clubs have had a
chance to apply to the Fullerton Leo scholarships; therefore one
"Burnette"
and one "Crawford" per school will be awarded for a total is $1500.00
in scholarships. Click here for a Pdf formatted

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The New Leo year officially starts July 1rst, but since both clubs are school
based,
we are active from September to June ("school year").
The first activity is called: "Club Rush":
We plan the event
with flyers and posters,
the idea is to sign up as many new members as
possible. Last year Troy has
signed up about 100 Leos, and Sunny
Hills approx. 40 Leos.
SHHS Leo club was chartered in February of 1999.
Troy HS Leo club was chartered on April 5th, 2008.
