Proserpine Lions Club are excited to work alongside a new generation of community-minded students from Proserpine State High School, launching the inaugural Whitsunday Leos Club.
The new club was inspired by the proactive students who have worked at various community events with the Lions Club, including last year’s food stall at Show Whitsunday.
Proserpine Lions Club member Jane Bettridge said club members were impressed with the students work ethic.
“They wouldn’t stay still, taking their own initiative to find jobs to do from folding napkins, wiping tables, even sweeping,” she said.
“Many stayed longer after their shift had finished to help. These students are the face of the future.”
Fellow Lions club member Misty Bland was impressed the students had discovered the joy of volunteering at such a young age.
“It’s wonderful to see their confidence grow through their involvement in the club,” she said.
“It’s incredible to see their passion for their community. Their commitment is incredible.”
Principal Don McDermid congratulated the students for taking the lead with this wonderful opportunity to give back to the greater Whitsunday community.
“They are a motivated group of students who already have a list of great fundraising and community service ideas that we look forward to seeing them execute as the year progresses,” he said.
“We are grateful to the Proserpine Lions Club and our senior teacher Mrs Martin for providing this mentorship opportunity for our students to work within the community and give back through combined projects.”
The Leos have elected their committee and are working towards the first fundraiser for the year, with more details to come in the weeks ahead. They will also host their official swearing in ceremony.
Proserpine State High School students in Years 9-12 are encouraged to join the Whitsundays Leos Club and make a difference in the community through like-minded events.
Be sure to keep an eye out for them in the community
