Community Service

I have been involved with Community Service for many years and am a current member of The Cathedral School Leo Club, soon to become a member of the Twin Cities Leo Club. I enjoy working with other people my age who share the same moral values as me and find community service enjoying and inspiring. I also enjoy working with members of the local Lion Clubs who always have a great story to tell about something inspirational they did.
