The club's program on Friday, February 18 featured Lonnie Allgood, founder and CEO of Dreams for Kids, Inc.

 

Lonnie  is a former professional football player, playing split end for several years on three teams in the NFL. He praised his parents for guiding him and encouraging  to live a clean life, study and play hard, and work toward worthwhile dreams.  He played football in high school, then later at Syracuse University, but his mother never attended a game. She did, however, attend all of Lonnie's other school functions.  She saw football not as an end, but as a means to an end.  After several injuries his playing days were over and he decided to help children develop and work toward their dreams, initiating "Dreams for Kids" of which he is now the CEO.
