As the District Chairperson for LEO Clubs for the new fiscal year, I am very happy to see many Leo Clubs thinking "green!" these days! BRAVOOOO to all of you!!! FYI, Celebrity Lion, Baki Zainal from 8TV will be launching a special Go Green! project together with his media friends and partners. Funds will be raised for Leo Clubs in our District to conduct environmental projects in this fiscal year and some other organizations too!!! Yeayyyy!!!!
The good news is, in October, we'll have a mega launch of the project, and we will be organizing a beach clean up in Langkawi Island! 10 LEO Club members from our district will be selected from our District.. (most likely the Environmental Directors/Chairpersons of your club) to take part in the beach clean-up and a special Go Green Forum that will be attended by celebrities, media and other environmental agencies too! More info to come up real soon on this one!!!! :)
Leo Ng Zi Qin from the Leo Club of Penang City (O) headed a project called "3R" in line with Penang's aims of becoming the first "Green state". The project was also supported by Leos from Chung Ling High School, Convent Datuk Keramat and Penang Chinese Girls' High School. Leos managed to collect old newspapers, aluminium cans, cardboards, plastic bottles from a 5 block radius. The items collected were sold to a recycling center and RM86.70 was raised.
The Leo Club of SMK Taman Sea organized their installation @ their school hall with the "Go Green" concept in mind! They served food using reusable utensils made of plastic and metal... and NO disposable plastic utensils & polystyrene plates/cups were used! BRAVO, Taman SEA LEOs!!!!!!!!
The Leo Club of La Salle Klang, added more trees and did a clean-up of their LEO Garden recently!!! Bravo! Expand your LEO Garden,... plant more trees...create more "Green" @ your school. in fact, the entire school could be your "Leo Garden" project. This might be too big or ambitious a project for you Leos.. but think about it... why not work with your school and keep your teachers, students and Principal happy! Instead of only taking care of a Leo Garden, why not go bigger!!! :P Why don't you organize "Green" projects, and create more spots @ your school to plant more trees... hence, making the entire school ground a mega sized "LEO Garden!!!"
Up & Coming INSTALLATIONS...
13 Leo Clubs in Perak are hosting the 30th Perak Annual LEO Joint Installation on the 23rd of August 2009... Penang is also having their Region 1 Joint installation on the 31st of August too!!!! Facebook-ers..lock in your calendar here.
SERVING THE COMMUNITY...
Visit to Beautiful Gate, Kampar...Home for the disabled (mental/physical)
The Leo Club of Penang City (O) took the initiative to organize a project out of their region, Penang, and Organizing Chairperson, Leo Teoh Him Keat said that, this was a great experience as sharing and caring for the needy ones have no boundaries at all. They took the effort to jointly organizing this project with the Leo Clubs of ACS and Pei Yuan, Kampar. Other guest Leos who attended the event included Leos from Anderson & Sam Tet, Ipoh as well as Petaling Jaya Integrity too!
Leos and Lions played games and many Lions contributed a little something and the money was used to purchase items for daily use... Bravo Penang City!!!! Besides doing charitable work, you managed to build bridges across 3 regions to foster better fellowship amongst Leos and Lions!!!
The Leo Club of Tanjung Penang, Chung Hwa & Union High School organized a trip to the Hospice Pure Lotus home...Our Leos fed the patients there, cooked for them, cleaned up the surrounding area and done loads of other work for the home in aid of charity! This certainly has helped and assisted the management of the home and eased their jobs in the name of charity! Bravo Leos!!!!
The Leo Club of Assunta, PJ & the Leo Club of Ipoh Metro (O) organized a joint visit to the Rumah Seri Setia Old Folks Home. Leos played games @ the home with the uncles and aunties and also donated food supplies and other items to them too! Teacher advisors of the Assunta Leo Club and Leo Advisor Lion Ivan Lim were present too!!! Great support from the advisors!!!! Parts of the visit were documented by Zenny Lyn, host for Jalan-jalan with Zenny on the LEO WebTV channel... click here to view!
The Leo Clubs of Sam Tet, Ave Maria Convent & Yuk Choy Ipoh jointly organized a visit to the Moonlight Care Centre Old Folks Home. Heeding the call for more regional/joint projects... the 3 clubs decided to carry out the visit with a more personal touch... that is to cook food together with the uncles and aunties at the home.....RCC for Leo Clubs Region 4, Lion Mary Goh also joined them. Unfortunately Perak LEOs still have yet to GO GREEN. Look at the many polystyrene boxes used during the event. Wonder if this could be reduced in the next visit... wouldn't that be good? :) (Hint!!!! Hint!!!! Do I have to start penalizing clubs for using polystyrene boxes for events to finally make you guys see what Go Green really means???!!!!)
