Floresville Family: You might or might not know
that our high school has their own “Lion’s Club.” Being a Lion, I am
proud to say that this club, called the “Leo’s Club” is an outstanding
example of service to the community. These young people are currently
organizing a breast cancer awareness festival “Helping to Find a Cure!”
to take place on April 25 2009 at the These students have
taken it upon themselves to organize this event. This event will
include a blood mobile from San Antonio Blood and They came up with this
idea, did the research and found that they would need $1900 just to
cover their expenses. They started working towards their goal by
asking for sponsor and donations from the local community as well as
doing bake sales and yard sales. While they are still working on
fund raising they have met their first goal of $1900 to cover the cost
of the festival, now they are working to raise money for a donation to
the Breast Cancer Foundation to help purchase wigs, hats and scarves for
breast cancer patients. Also they are looking for people to
participate in the blood drive, take advantage of the free mammogram and
bone marrow screening. In the past year these
student have also organized a care package drive for a Marine Unit in
Fuluja We are truly blessed to
have such wonderful kids helping to create a community of character in
Floresville! Thank you Leo’s and parent sponsor Glen Mabe for his
wonderful leadership efforts. The photo is the current Leo’s Club
