On the 22nd of July, the Leo Club of Assunta had their 40th annual installation. Lion Ivan Ho, SMK Assunta’s club advisor, Lion Ang Toon Aun and Lion Christopher were among the revered guests present at this auspicious event. At 1.30 p.m, the ushererettes were at Gate B and Gate C ready to welcome the guests from other schools and the Lions who were coming. By 2.30 p.m, everyone was in the hall and the event began.
The ceremony started with the roll call from each school. The Leo Club of La Salle, Leo Club of Damansara Jaya and Leo Club of Wesley Methodist were a few schools who sounded their roll calls. Some schools had only one representative but still they said their cheer with a lot of spirit. Once the roll calls were over, the outgoing president of SMKA’s Leo Club, Grace Keow, was invited onstage to hit the bell signifying the start of the ceremony. Lian Ivan Ho and Lion Ang Toon Aun were then invited on stage to give their respective speeches. Then, the outgoing president of Assunta, Leo Grace Keow was invited onstage to give her speech.
After that, the emcees announced that the Form 5 Leos were going to be uninstalled. They received certificates for faithfully serving the Leo Club. Next came the moment everyone was waiting for! The installation of the new Leos! All the new members had to go up on stage in twos, light a candle and then receive their badges from Lion Ivan and our teacher advisor. Once all the new members had received their candles, together, they said a pledge to serve the Leo Club unconditionally.
Then came the time to introduce the new Board of 2011/2012. They did the traditional candle blowing ceremony and once they had announced the new board members all the way up to the new president then read a pledge. Now that the serious part of the installation was over, everyone could relax and watch the entertaining performances by the members of Assunta’s Leo Club. The performances were kicked off with Leo Karen and Leo Azarelle’s duet of Little House. The crowd cheered wildly once they were done. After that was a performance by two other Leos, Leo Hui Kuan and Leo Sher Ni. They sang a ‘Whole New World’ from a Disney classic, Aladdin.
The last performance was by the new board members of SMKA’s Leo Club. They danced to a mixture of songs and got many cheers and applauses from the crowd. Lastly was a surprise video for the outgoing board members. The video was especially to thank outgoing president Grace Keow for all her contributions to the club. She was so touched that she even began to cry.
All in all, it was a great day. Everyone had fun and the new members were glad to have been installed.
