What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

Essay Contest Results
Results of our annual essay contest are in! This year's topic was ""When All the World’s Problems are Solved, is Optimism Still Necessary?", which generated some very interesting and creative interpretations.

We had a record number of entries this year (96), so judging was difficult and winning was no small feat. Both Loudoun County HS and Dominion HS surpassed the minimum number of essays required to qualify for a $500 cash prize for their respective winner.

So without further ado, the top essays were written by:
Creighton Riddle - a Junior at LCHS
Mariam Qureshi - a Senior at Dominion HS

Creighton was the overall winner, and his essay has been entered into the Capital-VA District contest for a chance at an additional $2500 scholarship.

Congratulations to both Creighton and Mariam, and good luck to Creighton at the next level!  Results should be known by early April.

2018 HOBY Winner Visits

 Picture
We had a great club meeting Monday, February, 18 at Eggspectation in Leesburg.

​We have been sponsoring sophomore students from Leesburg-area high schools for many, many years to attend the Hugh O'Brian Youth (HOBY) Leadership Conference held at JMU each May/June.

We had the distinct pleasure of having one of those past students join us as a guest speaker at our meeting. 2018 HOBY-VA participant Yumi Tsuyuki from Dominion HS and her mother Grace joined us for dinner and some great conversation. It really confirmed to us the value that our HOBY-VA sponsorships provide as it was very clear from Yumi's passion and appreciation for the conference that it was worth every penny.

It was also very clear that Yumi was a very worthy candidate who put a lot into, and got a lot out of, the experience, and plans to use that newly gained knowledge as she continues her high school education at Dominion and the Academies of Loudoun. Dominion chose wisely.
