Sorry folks. . .long but #OUTSTANDING day today giving back to our local communities!! Today, HOBY Texas North Ambassadors and volunteers contributed 1,551 service hours to eight worthy non profit organizations across the DFW area! More on those later. . .
But someone emailed us and asked "why is L4S important to HOBY?" Great question!
Our goal is to help our young men and women to understand that their time and ability to lead starts not when they go off to college, find a job, start a family. . .it starts now. And leadership isn't always at the head of the class or leading a group or project in the traditional manner. Sometimes leading is setting an example or serving others. One of our speakers made the reference to St. Francis of Assisi. He said "regardless of what religion you are, the lesson is valuable". St. Francis once said "preach the gospel at all times and when necessary, use words." Taken in the context of leadership, you could say "be a leader at all times and when necessary, use words" meaning lead by example. By serving others who are in need, we set an example for others and in that way, we lead.
Our volunteer staff is busy uploading photos and taking notes. We think that they will have enough energy to make a couple of posts before lights out. . .but we aren't promising anything! ;)
