A Hectic Weekend....!

Well, being newly appointed as the District Chairperson for Leo Clubs for District 308B2, I have to say, last weekend was really a hectic one for me! As i have promised to all before, I will try my very best to attend all functions if possible, however, my hands are tied as the timing was all packed!

Travelling from PJ to Ipoh to pick up 4 Leos... then to Alor Star.. then back to Ipoh for a CLD seminar.. then rushed back to PJ for 2 events... the words of "Wah liaoooooo ehhh!" almost came out of everyone that knew our route! Hahah... but then again, it was really fun to meet up with Leos & Lions from all over the district... Inevitably, new friendship blossomed... and borders widened...


REGION 1, KEDAH, JOINT INSTALLATION & ANNIVERSARY!

Region 4 Perak Leos & Region 3 Kedah Leos...
bridging borders... creating friendship!

We left Alor Star after the dinner event, about 11pm-ish... and arrived no earlier than 3am in Ipoh! Slumped down on the bed and slept for a couple of hours...!

CLD @ SMJK Sam Tet, Ipoh

Next, as early as 830am, The Leo Club of Sam Tet hosted the 1st CLD Orientation seminar & examination for new members. Other clubs also participated in the Orientation. A record breaking 130 Leos sat for the examination!!!
(Note: Until further notice, all CLD events are temporarily put on hold till further notice from the CLD Board)

his B.O.D who put together the Orientation Seminar & Examination

10TH ANNUAL INSTALLATION OF
THE LEO CLUB OF PETALING JAYA INTEGRITY

An innovative idea emerged @ PJI's installation.. this is where Taylor College's
Mr Adrian Kuah, founder of "Breaking the Silence", a program to create awareness
and education on HIV/AIDs gave a short speech and presentations on the topic.
He also urged all Leos to consider taking part in this program to further educate the young
ones today on the danger of this disease.

Presentation of certificates/awards of achievements (from LEO Forum)
to Leo Club of PJI's members

Induction of 16 new members of the Leo Club of PJI! Bravo!!!!

Sponsoring Lions Club President, Lion Shanker, installed
the new Board of Directors for the fiscal year 2009/2010 with
Leo President, Leo Beatrice Grace Chan taking over the leadership of
the club

Leos from PJ & Ipoh!!!!

URBAN GROOVE CONCERT
by Lions Club of PJ Metro

Azizi Zakaria, Teen Ambassador of the National Kidney Foundation (NKF)
sang alongside Ben J & Zenny Lyn (Leo Club of Ipoh Metro President & Secretary)
for the Urban Groove concert in aid of the NKF Funds.

They sang 3 song together and then, Azizi sang his hit single,
Kamu Semua thereafter!

FELLOWSHIP BRUNCH @ SS3
& SHOPPING @ ONE UTAMA

After a long day on the 11th, Leos from Anderson & St. Michael's (Ipoh) who
stayed back another day joined members of the Leo Clubs of PJI, Subang Utama,
Seafield & Ipoh Metro to have brunch @ Ms Reads @ One Utama, PJ.

@ the bus stand minuted before departure....
Such fellowship across regions should be encouraged and focused on!!!
We shouldn't wait till the yearly LEO Forum to meet Leos from other regions!
take the initiative to cross borders!!! Build friendship, organize projects together...


It is only then... the true meaning of LEO will emerge!!!
Sharing and caring need not be amongst just Leos from your region/district!
Let's expand that border so that the entire District 308B2 will come as one closely knit family!

(Disclaimer: Please obtain all consent from school authorities, sponsoring Lions Clubs,
parents etc etc prior to 'crossing borders' ya! Don't get us into trouble. hahaha! :P)

i think azizi n the rest did a splendid performance although i have already seen them performing in leo forums.indeed, leos across regions truthfully make events/occasions successful and no doubt, fun.
