Graver was also an active member of the Glenside Lions Club, Pennsylvania. With fellow Lion, William Ernst, Graver talked about starting a service club for high school boys. So they asked their fellow Lions for support. Without hesitation, the Glenside Lions agreed that a Lions youth group was a good idea. Graver and Ernst set to work. On December 5, 1957, the Glenside Lions presented a charter to the Abington High School Leo Club whose members were mostly made up of the high school's baseball team. As the world's first Leo club, the group created the Leo acronym - Leadership, Equality, Opportunity (Equality was later changed to Experience.) And, the group chose maroon and gold - their school colours - to serve as the Leo club colours. Since 1957, when the first club was organized, the Leo movement has grown to more than 5,700 clubs in more than 139 countries with approximately 144,000 members The Leo club motto is:
Leardership
Experience
Opportunity
Today, the Leo Club Program is stronger than ever. Community service remains the cornerstone of the program. Like their Lion counterparts, Leo club members enjoy serving their neighbours and watching positive results unfold.
