She has spearheaded a visit to the Ronald McDonald House in Louisville, Leo members cleaned the common areas and made cookies and brownies for the family members returning from spending time with their child in the hospital. She was also instrumental in planning a fundraiser to assist the Meade County Lions to help provide eye exams and glasses to those less fortunate.”
