A Report on General Meeting cum Celebration for Leo International Day

           On the 13^th of January 2012, The Leo Club of Assunta had our first general meeting of the year. It was really nice to see all the leo’s again as well as the new probationers that want to join us this year. We started off with the leo pledge and continued on with the roll call. The leo’s were very enthusiastic during the meeting that day. Then our Lion advisor, Lion Ivan, our teacher advisor’s, Puan Betty and Puan Martita, as well as all the Board of Directors of the year 2011/2012 were introduced to all the new members. After that, there was a short introduction by the Leo president on what the Leo Club is all about.

            A few leo’s were then called to the front to talk about all the past projects that we had over the month of November and December. For example, the Joint Christmas Carolling project, the Novels for Nepal Bazaar, The 3 S (sweep, swept, swap) project and so on. Then, there was an announcement on all the upcoming projects for the month.

            A short speech was given by Lion Ivan. He talked about the Blind Leading the Blind project that is organised by the Lions Club of Petaling Jaya which is going to be held in the month of April. There will be cards that will be passed out to all the Leo’s to collect money and raise as much as we can. A short game called ‘Hi, my name is Joe’ was played and al the leo’s enjoyed themselves.

            Since we could not celebrate Leo International Day last year, we decided to celebrate it during this meeting with all the Leo members. A cake was baked for the occasion by our teacher advisor, Puan Betty and the Leo’s used their creativity by decorating the cake with pictures and wordings. At the same time, all the January babies were called upfront too. A birthday song was sung for all of them and Lion Ivan, Puan Betty and all the January babies cut the cake together.

            We made sure that each of the leo’s had a slice of cake before the meeting was adjourned. It was a really fun meeting and it was really great to see all the leo’s again after such a long holiday.
