Budleigh Salterton Lions Club is planning to sponsor a Leo Club for 12 to 18 year olds who enjoy helping their local community.

Leo Clubs are part of the Lions International movement and are aimed at bringing younger people into the fold. As well as enabling teenagers to give back to their community, the clubs offer opportunities for personal development, improving social and leadership skills. The Leo motto is 'Leadership, Experience, Opportunity.'

Leo members serve others in their neighbourhoods and throughout the world. The clubs provide their members with friendship and opportunities to participate in community service projects and raise funds for local good causes. 

Budleigh Lions are hosting an 'Informational Meeting' at Wesley's café in Budleigh this Saturday, July 20 at 4pm. The café will be providing free pizza for attendees.

Lions Club members will be there to provide more information about Leos and answer questions concerning requirements for Leo club membership, the relationship to the sponsoring Lions club and Leo service activities. 

For further information about the local club, email Secretary@budleighlions.com, or just come to the meeting. Details of Leo Clubs can be found here.
