Celebrate Leos on December 5
 International Leo Day, celebrated annually on December 5,
is the perfect time to call attention to those we hope will one day lead the
association. Consider sponsoring a new Alpha Leo club at your
local community center, or use this day as an opportunity to foster dialogue
with current Leo members, thereby creating the type of environment that will
encourage Leos to one day continue their service as Lions. Through Leo clubs,
you will have a positive influence on today's youth and young adults - helping
them become better citizens and leaders for life. Watch our Leading for Life video to learn more about
Leos.
