The Coppell Leo Club held a bake sale in front of Ace Hardware on March 18^th to raise funds for portable nebulizers for the Primary Care Clinic of North Texas.  The clinic treats low income uninsured patients.  Leo Club Vice President Isabel Mascarenhas knew from volunteering at the clinic that there was a significant need for portable nebulizers.  Low-income patients with asthma can use these machines as a low cost treatment for asthma symptoms.

Leo Club President Veronica Nguyen was very impressed with the generosity of shoppers at Ace Hardware.  “Once people heard about the opportunity to help provide nebulizers for low income patients, they were very willing to help out,” she said. “We also appreciate the support from Ace Hardware.”

The Coppell Leo Club is a service organization for high school students.  It is an extension of the Coppell Lions Club.  There are over 6,500 Leo clubs in more than 140 nations.  Leo clubs provide young people with an opportunity for development and contribution, individually and collectively, as responsible members of the local, national and international community.  The Leo club motto is Leadership, Experience, Opportunity.
