They demonstrate the exceptional youth in Prince William County, who are making a difference”

Leo Treasurer Alyssa Osmer, reflecting on her experiences said, “I am so happy and proud to be a part of this great organization. All of us who joined are looking for an opportunity to give back and be a part of something bigger than ourselves. The Leo’s is truly a great group of people who truly want to help”
The evening’s event included the attendance and remarks by Lions District Governor for District 24-L, Glen Logan who said, “In such a short time you have demonstrated the true meaning of the Lions Motto, “We Serve”.
