Introducing the LEO Cabinet for District 308B2!!!

Introducing the LEO Cabinet for District308B2!!! Well, to be honest with you, this is not entirely my idea! haha... Can't claim all the credits even though it became a reality in my term as District Chairperson for LEO Clubs for our District.

I have to give credits to Leo Vincent Khor from the Leo Club of Penang City.. formerly from Leo Club of Chung Ling High School.. I could remember clearly back in 2004 if I'm not wrong... where I attended an event in Penang...That was the time when he shared with me on the feasibility of having a LEO Cabinet. Unfortunately, during that time, he didn't garner much support... Oh well, Leo Vincent... this is a special one for ya.... your dreams of our District finalllllyyyy having our very own Council/Cabinet has become reality. Once you are back from overseas... we want to activate you again.. Am sure that given the opportunity, you would be able to share a lot of goals and inspirations with us!


Well, to those who are not aware, LEOs around the world, in their respective districts, have their very own council or cabinet. Functioning much like the Lions Cabinet, the LEO Cabinet is aimed at providing more on ground support to the many Leo Clubs in the district with the focus and guidance in accordance to the directions of the District Chairperson for LEO Clubs and RCCs too! For those who are still unclear, you may send me a private email at: alanskthoo@yahoo.com for more info! Now... basically, if you have a function, do contact the LEO Cabinet and try to get some assistance from them as well. The team is comprised of young and energetic Past Presidents from the Omega LEO Clubs. In time to come, doors will be opened for former alpha LEO Presidents too! most importantly, the Cabinet is aimed at giving you as much assistance as possible. Do note, please do not request permissions of any sort from the LEO Cabinet as all other rules and regulations as stipulated in the International constitution remains...

Dor more info, please download a simple slide HERE .

Up & Coming Eco projects!

Dear all,

It's been a quiet period of time due to the H1N1 scare for all. I understand that most of you are restricted either by your sponsoring Lions Clubs or school authorities.. if not, your parents! :) That's alright. Well, the flu "pandemic" (not really la, ok?) is not really over, so please.. observe all cleanliness and hygiene. The last installation to be done is the Perak Joint Installation which has been postponed till now. I hope that the committee would work fast to make sure that your B.O.D are installed officially.

Now, as for our focus in the month of November-December... We are going GREEN! :) Yup, inevitably! So, start planning some projects big small, internal external.. actually it doesnt matter! Drop me an email @ alan@eventplusmarketing.com and I might just be able to assist you to have the Malaysian Celebrities Go Green (MCG2) founders attending your event or pledging some support in terms of cash/donation or whatsoever!

As per the project as featured above, we have Leo Club of Penang City organizing a recycling design competition!!!!! This project will be carried out at 2.00pm on the 21st of November 2009 (after Pillow Fight Charity Event) @ Queensbay Mall!!!! MCG2 members Azizi Zakaria & Baki Zainal from 8TV will be present at the event! Your projects (selected) will be featured on 8TV's Celebrity Chat and selected events will be announced on air to create awareness too....especially the ones attended by the MCG2 celebrities....

In addition to this, prior to this event, is a Mega scaled project called ECO WEEK by the LEO Club of Sam Tet, Ipoh! More info will come soon regarding this project...and I certainly hope more Region 5 LEOs will also jump into the bandwagon and let's go green together!

REMEMBER: GO GREEN doesnt mean that we are asking you to change your lifestyle and walk to school from now on (Preferably, but this might not be possible as we still have to go on with our lives). It is the LITTLE STEPS that we take in our lives to actually create a "greener" environment... for example:

i) Switch off all electricity when you leave home
ii) Use 1 plastic bag less every day (Try it!!!! it's fun!)
iii) Avoid paper wastage by re-using old faxes, papers, etc etc for notes!

So once again.. let's all go green together ya! The little steps.. MAKE A DIFFERENCE TODAY! :)

Regards

Patience, Determined, Strong...



It's a very touching short story of how both Mr & Mrs Mooney struggled with the facts of life.. take up the challenge and stay patient and determined at all times all in the name of the love for their child... Something we all can adopt in our daily lives....
