Regulus Award

Three Abbott Tech Leos were presented with “The Regulus Award.”

The award states, “As Regulus is the brightest object in the Constellation Leo, we recognize your brilliant leadership and service, above and beyond to Leos and our communty.” A Lions Club must recognize the Leos for their outstanding service.

Leos Kelly, Hugo, and Angel volunteered with the Danbury Lions at a Community Health Fair over the summer. Their kind leadership and translating skills caused visitors to be comfortable and accept the services of the health professionals at the event. 

Pictured are Hugo, Kelly, and PDG Lion Lori Beninson.
