The Strasburg Alliance Club is preparing to bring the community together through its annual Spring Fest.  It’s scheduled for the weekend of April 25 and features food, music, and fun activities.  This year is the first one with the club in primary charge, taking over for the location which ran it previously.  The Alliance Club is also promoting its youth community service initiative, run through local Lions Club chapters. 

The Spring Fest will take place at Vahling Vineyards.  The Strasburg Alliance Club’s Jim Weiss says the winery served as the original event organizers before delegating it to the Alliance Club.

Music will entertain visitors the duration of the weekend, with local acts coming to perform. 

Separate from the Spring Fest, Weiss is involved with the local LEO Club.  The acronym stands for Leadership, Experience, and Opportunity.  It’s a group of high school students who complete a variety of community service projects, mostly for senior citizens and those with disabilities. 

Weiss says this and other LEO Clubs help introduce a mindset of service in younger community members.
