Leos

The Hendrick Hudson Lions Club is very proud to sponsor the Hendrick Hudson Leos Club, comprised of students in seventh through twelfth grades at Blue Mountain Middle School and Hendrick Hudson High School. The Leos were officially chartered on September 6, 2007 with 32 active members. They meet the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month at Mt. Carmel Hall in Verplanck, from 7:00-8:00 p.m.

Since 1957, when the first club was organized, the Leo movement has grown to more than 5,500 clubs in more than 130 countries with approximately 140,000 members.

Joining a Leo club is a great way to become involved in your community, serve as a leader to your peers and make friends

The objective of the Leo Club Program was (and still is):

"...to provide the youth of the world an opportunity for development and contribution, individually and collectively, as responsible members of the local, national and international community."

The Leo club motto is:

Leadership - Leos develop skills as organizers, time managers and motivators of their peers.

Experience - Leos learn the importance of cooperation through community service.

Opportunity - Membership provides young people with a chance to excel, to develop positive character traits, and to receive recognition for their contributions to the community.

Today, the Leo Club Program is stronger than ever. Community service remains the cornerstone of the program. Like their Lion counterparts, Leo club members enjoy serving their neighbors and watching positive results unfold.
