Daily Herald Leadership Teams
We’re pleased today to present our 2007-08
Daily Herald Leadership Team. Their volunteer activities cover a wide range
of interests. Some mentor children or feed the
hungry, some fund-raise o rmake life brighter for
elderly persons. Others travel to distant places to
teach children or rebuild destroyed homes.
The common thread is that these are students
who do, not just talk. And, without exception,
these are students who lead. We call it the Leadership Team for a reason.
Volunteering at anything is valuable—but the
people who organize and convince others of a
cause worth taking up are the ones making real
change. The nearly 100 public and private high schools
in our readership area have produced another
bumper crop of outstanding teenagers who
believe their mission is to leave the world a
better place. We’re proud to introduce them to you. John Lampinen, Editor | |
