May 15, 2010 – HOBY Program

Once again we as a lions club had the privilege of hearing from our Hugh O'Brien Youth Leadership scholarship winners that we helped Sponsor. Because of the leadership that this program provides to selected youth from our local high school we feel it a privilege to assist in helping to provide scholarships to this great program. Jessie Black and Nathan Church expressed their appreciation for our help and talked about the value of program and the leadership skills they learned.

Bob Ross President of the Utah HOBY program shared with us how the program works. He presented us the 2009 (2010) forthcoming) patch acknowledging our service efforts with HOBY and appreciation for the assistance in the scholarships.. HOBY provided leadership training to over 90 high school students this year.
