Flagler Palm Coast High school graduate Emily Effort received two Lions Club scholarships — one from the Palm Coast Lions Club and one from the district — totaling $2,000.
Effort is the past president of the FPC Leo Club. She has been a Leo since her sophomore year. She helped lead marketing efforts for her club’s events throughout the school year and plans to major in pre-marketing at UCF.
According to a Lions Club press release, Effort said one of her favorite service events was the school’s Halloween tradition, “Walk the Halls,” where students dressed up and handed out candy.
Effort said she is excited to continue developing her leadership and service skills.
Incoming Palm Coast Lions Club President Shara Brodsky said in the press release that she loves "that the camaraderie begins at such a young age through the Leos. Our Lions still live by the, ‘We Serve’ motto. It’s more than a phrase — it’s a way of life centered around love, support and community.”
The Palm Coast Lions Club plans to launch a new community-based Leo Club, creating more opportunities for youth to discover the value of service and leadership.
