Exceptional Dogs for Exceptional People

Leona V, service ambassador dog.
Leona V

Sertoma’s “Gala Under the Stars” raised more than $10,000 to help care for and train a Service Ambassador dog for a hearing-impaired person, allowing us to name the puppy on behalf of our organization. The chosen name was Leona V in honor of Leona Valley.

Leona V was born on September 13, 2018 and is now with her puppy raisers Chuck and Connie Braddy in San Diego. She will be there for 18 to 20 months to prepare for her advanced training of an additional six to nine months at the Canine Companions for Independence Training Center in Oceanside. If Leona graduates after learning 30 basic commands and socialization skills, her projected “turn-in” date will be May 20, 2020, where she will be presented to her new Partner for Life. Leona will then become the ears, hands and legs of her human partner and will be considered a goodwill ambassador.

“Some people wait a lifetime for a miracle, but Canine Companions for Independences raises these special dogs one at a time.” Thank you for helping us make this miracle happen.

2019 Scholarship Program & St. Patrick’s Day Dinner

Are You Ready for what 2019 will bring?

The members of Leona Valley Sertoma look forward to what the new year will bring and to continuing some of their long-standing programs and events. These include the 2019 Scholarship Program and the St. Patrick’s Day Dinner, both have been around for quite some time.

Scholarship Applications for 2019 are here!

Can you believe it? The Leona Valley Sertoma Scholarship Program is twenty years old this year and still going strong. Leona Valley Sertoma established the Leona Valley SERTOMA Scholarship Program to identify and reward local students who have shown personal and intellectual qualities through academic achievement, as well as participation and leadership in extracurricular and community activities. Leona Valley Sertoma has given out close to $50,000.00, in scholarships since 1999. The goal of the program is to serve the needs of local graduating seniors and those community college students transferring to continue their education.

Scholarship consideration is also open to students attending Community college who live in Leona Valley, Green Valley, Lake Hughes, Three Points or Lake Elizabeth, who are transferring to a 4-year college.

Our most recent scholarship recipient was Margaret (Maggie) Mihaljevich. Click on her name to read the post and we welcome you to share our post on your Facebook page.
