“Housekeeping”

 New this year is morning and afternoon meetings. Please be patient as we work out the “kinks” of changing our format.

 The meetings will have the same information so attendance is necessary at only one of the month’s meeting.

Service opportunities will be divided between morning and afternoon meetings to be as fair as possible.

• Service opportunities will be posted after the meetings and students can sign up for opportunities.

 The Leo Club Information wall is located inside the RESOURCE area on 2 nd floor in the D wing  A Leo Club handbook contains this information. One handbook is given to each member. If you didn’t get one at the first meeting, you can pick one up today.
