Warwick Leo Club begins new year of service

Warwick Valley Community Center Directors Karen Thomas and Lisa Pierce accept a donation from Warwick Leo Club President Scarlett Yates during the club’s Sept. 15 meeting. It was Yates’ first meeting as president of the club, of which she was a founding member in 2001. Sponsored by the Warwick Lions Club, the community-based youth service organization offers students ages 12-17 leadership, opportunity and experience. Members are encouraged to assess the needs of the local and global community and create ways to make change and to advocate for causes of interest to them. The club holds its meetings on the first and third Friday of the month from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Warwick Valley Community Center, 11 Hamilton Ave., Warwick. (Photo provided by Craig Thompson)
