Hi there everyone! This is Lion Alan Thoo, appointed District Chairperson for LEO Clubs for the up & coming fiscal year 2009/2010! This is a big challenge for me, and I certainly hope I will be able to keep up with the fast paced LEO Clubs in our district! :)
Being the Regional Committee Chairperson for Perak for the last 2 fiscal years have certainly prep-ped me in taking on this role. I hope that I will be able to carry out my duty as well as current District Chairperson, Ln May Cheah is doing, and not forgetting also other former DCs like Ln Ong Lai Peng, Lion H'ng Chee Wei, Lion Oeh Eng Soon, Lion Andy Lim and many more.
I'm indeed honoured to be given this opportunity and appointment. I was a LEO member when I turned 15 in Form 3 back in those days! :) I remember the first project that I attended with my seniors was a visit to the Jelapang Old Folks Home in Ipoh. Back then, the condition of the home wasn't like the present state. The old folks practically lived in a rumshackle and dilapidated building, if I may say. The feeling of sadness and pityful filled me and still sends shiver down my spine whenever I think back. However, over the years, as an Alpha Leo and eventually a proud member of a former Omega Leo Club (Leo Club of Ipoh Omega members converted the club into the Lions Club of New Century back in 2005), I put in a lot of effort in organizing projects in the home to ensure that the old folks there would eventually live in a better way. I believe I have done my fair share of contributions.
Well, we are in the midst of preparing for the fiscal year and my team and I working real hard to have a smooth transition from DC May Cheah's fiscal year over to the new one.
Cheers and let's have another great year ahead of us!
Regards
Ln Alan Thoo
