PROGRAM - Bob Miller, HOBY PROGRAM
Each year for several years our Club has sponsored students to attend the HOBY Leadership Program. Bob invited 4 2019 HOBY students and their parents and a HOBY rep to talk about their experience.
Hugh O’Brien was challenged by Albert Schweitzer to “give back” in some way to help others. So Hugh started HOBY to help youth develop their leadership skills. 250 students in their sophomore year of H.S. from HOBY’s District (State College and east except Phila), attended a 4 day conference at Shippensburg Univetsity.
2 students told us how HOBY helped them with self confidence, the art of compromise, and various leadership skills. 2 other students shared their involvement in community service projects.
NEXT WEEK’s PROGRAM - Christmas Music Program by SouthWestern H.S. students.
