PUTNAM —The Putnam Leo Club president Mikayla Van Dam accepted the Leo Club Excellence Award 2012-2013 on behalf of the youth organization.
According to a letter received from Jessica Hoey, Manager, Youth Programs Department, Lions Clubs International, “the excellence award recognizes outstanding achievement in the areas of humanitarian service, fundraising, leadership, public relations and club administration.”
Last year, Leos performed more than 1000 community service hours, volunteering their time with the Putnam Family Resource Center, Interfaith Human Services of Putnam (Daily Bread) and other local organizations. Leos also spent countless hours learning to be better leaders, raising money to give back to the community, improving membership, raising awareness and even updating their own Constitution.
