Student to be feted by the City Council Wednesday for volunteerism, contributions to the community
|
The City Council on Wednesday will recognize a local student for her volunteerism and Girl Scout accomplishments.
Alexis Moore has a penchant for community service - and selling cookies. For the fourth year straight, Moore has led the way in cookie sales throughout Aliso Viejo. This year, the 15-year-old sold 1,300 boxes and raised about $1,000.
With every box sold, about 70 percent of the proceeds helps to support scouting, including a portion that goes directly to the group selling the cookies. The fruits of Moore's labor will help send the troop to Europe next year to visit Girl Scout organizations in England and Switzerland.
Along with her accomplishments in Girl Scouts, the Aliso Niguel High School sophomore devotes her time to volunteering and giving back to the community. A dedicated City volunteer, Alexis has donated more than 40 hours of service in the past two years to events such as Founder's Day Fair, Snow Fest, Relay For Life and several others.
In other news, the City Council on Wednesday will also recognize roughly 22 individuals for successfully completing the City's 4th annual Community Emergency Preparedness Academy. The academy provides invaluable community outreach to educate residents in emergency preparedness.
The Council meets at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 12 Journey. For more information and to view the full agenda, visit the City's Web site at www.cityofalisoviejo.com.
