Historic Leos Group Forms in Millis
By J.D. O’Gara
The Leos have officially come to Millis. On Monday, December 8, Representatives from District 33K Lions Club and The Millis Lions Club ceremoniously welcomed the first charter of the Millis Alpha Leo Club at Millis High School Auditorium. As family members and friends looked on, 31 young members of now the 42-member strong club intently listened to the advice and instruction of their elder group before being sworn to abide by its traditions and values.
District 33K Zone 10 Chair and Millis Lions Club President, Debbie Hayes, told the group, “Leo stands for Leadership, Experience and Opportunity … Leos are the youth arm of Lions Clubs International. They are the young men and women ages 12-18 who are dedicated to making their community a better place.” Hayes explained that motto of the 98-year-old, 1.4 million member Lions Club International is “We Serve.” She added, “Our hope is these individuals (Leos) will be carrying
forth that tradition. You are the future of our world. Each one of you possesses the desire, the passion, the need be here.” Hayes applauded their parents and teachers as well, for instilling the virtues of commitment and dedication to the Lions, their school and their community. She added that the experience will be lifechanging, benefiting the Leos themselves. “There is nothing better than making someone feel great,” she said.
