Class XXII-Street Clock Project
$9000 was raised and a Street Clock was purchased by Leadership Mission and donated to the Mission Historical Museum. The clock face features the logo of Leadership Mission along with the motto of Class XXII-"Lead to Succeed". The project was selected after using inspiration from the 1900's street clock located in front of the Gregg Wood residence on Doherty Ave, down the road from the Museum. It has become a integral part of the Museum and has added to their ongoing landscaping program.
Class XXIII-Speer Memorial Library Project
A $3000 book donation was given to the Speer Memorial Library to help with their ever increasing book demands. The books consisted of best sellers, required reading for local high schools, and Leadership books. The books were each stamped with a class designed seal that can be found on the inside cover of each donated book.
Class XXIV-Mission Boys & Girls Club Project
The Mission Boys & Girls Club project consisted of two separate gifts to the Club. One was to help address the need for team benches for the young players. The existing wooden benches used by the teams had almost become a hazard. Four team benches made out of aluminum were bought by Leadership Mission and assembled by the Boys & Girls Club staff. The second part of the project was twelve computer desks to be constructed offsite and installed in the Club's computer room. The installation also included shelves and cubby holes for the Kids to place their belongings.
Class XXV & XXVI Combined Project
Nearly $20,000 (and counting) has been raised to establish a UTPA Scholarship Endowment for Mission area students. ** Currently underway **
