Kiwanis Club of Placerville has awarded October’s Student Service Leader of the Month Award to Lucas Hill, an El Dorado High School (EDHS) junior and Co-Vice President of the student Key Club. After receiving the award at a Kiwanis evening meeting located at the Cold Springs Golf Club, Lucas expressed, “I really appreciate this award and our Key Club.”

Sophie Cabrera is the EDHS Key Club advisor and explained, “Lucas has been an active member of the Key Club for the last two years. In his efforts supporting the club, Lucas has the responsibility of fund-raising to support service projects, such as the community garden the club is building at Duffy Park. Lucas was part of a small group of members that met with El Dorado Disposal to discuss a partnership and funding for the project. He has recently completed and submitted a grant proposal requesting funds and in-kind services. He also supports the club by participating in activities like the EDHS Club Day that recruits new members to various enriching opportunities. In addition to his Key Club activities, Lucas has volunteered for events for Ag in the Classroom and events at St. Patrick's Church.”

Dr. Ed Manansala, El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools and active Kiwanis member, is a champion of our student leaders and stated, “Lucas exemplifies the spirit of service and leads by example. He is a model student with great promise.”

Bob Verzello, Placerville Kiwanis President, concluded the award presentation by noting, “Our service clubs provide so much to our communities in a variety of ways. We are thankful for our students’ commitment to service. Congratulations, Lucas!”
