International Leo Day 2015 - District 308 B2 Malaysia Region 5 (Petaling Jaya)



On the 5th of December every year, Leos across the globe celebrate the International Leo Day, a day that commemorates the formation of the first Leo Club in the world. In conjunction with this celebration, the Leo Club of SMK Assunta, Leo Club of Seksyen 4 Bandar Kinrara, Leo Club of La Salle Petaling Jaya, Leo Club of Serdang, Leo Club of Petaling Jaya Integrity, and Leo Club of Taman Petaling had organised a Leo Day event in Petaling Jaya at the Centre Atrium of Tropicana City Mall. 

     The event was held in Tropicana City Mall from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. First, we had a booth set up with photos depicting the activities that were carried out by the Leo Clubs. We also had several performances followed by explanations about the Leo Club, aim, and purpose of the club by the Organising Chairperson. In the midst of it all, Leos walked around the shopping mall distributing recycle bags for free and selling cookies while also promoting Leo Day to the public. The aim was to encourage the use of recycle bags instead of plastic bags especially during grocery shopping. 

     Overall, the event was a successful one. Our booth sparked a curiosity amongst members of the public and they were delighted to receive a free recycle bag with the message “Give Green A Chance”. They were also more informed of the aim, purpose, and activities of the Leo Clubs, which fulfils our objective. We, on behalf of all the clubs involved, would like to thank all who came and supported our joint event. We, the Leo Club of SMK Assunta, would also like to thank the organising clubs for their dedication and hard work to making this event a success. May we continue to make a difference and serve the community together! ROAR!
