Leo Garden finally survived!!

It was on the 14th of February 2009 (Valentine's day), we had to spend our morning with the fresh green flora! Finally, we had the opportunity to safe our long long long died Leo garden!! It was on the Gotong-Royong day that our school planned to have. I was amazed that many new leo members came and help out. Recalling the previous year, it was like only 9 of us totalled up with the seniors.


Lions Club of KL West came too! Let me recall who came; Lion Bobby, Lion Edmund and Lion Dr.Raymond. Sorry if I missed out some of the names. =) The Lions wanted to snap photos with us so we did! (the first picture)


After preparing all the equipments we needed, the word "work" began!! so yes, 100 hibiscus were placed all over the garden including some other clubs' garden before planting into the soil..
Everyone started pulling the parasite grass that sticks out. LOL

Pictures speak!! =D

oh oh!! everyone got soooooooo excited when they found a worm... which was like 6cm long.. and the girls started shouting and running.. =D that's the spirit of becoming a leo.. we ROAR and scream!

Look look!! Leos are mean too.. the worm got into two after they were tired of it... poor little tiny worm.. =(

candid picture of the Lions.. =D Lion Bobby and Lion Edmund..

After planting the hibiscus.. it was time to refresh the paints by painting all over it again.. look at the professional painters we have in our club..!!

the hard work ended!!! *applause*

Lions Emblem

The International Association of Lions Clubs, which is also known as the Lions Clubs International, is an incorporated, non-profit organization.

The emblem of the Association consists of a large gold letter, “L” on a purple field. The letter “L” stands for Law, Liberty, Labour, Loyalty, Love, Life and Lions. Bordering this is a circular gold area with conventionalized Lion facing away from the centre. The word “Lions” appears at the top and “international” at the bottom. Symbolically, the Lions face both past and future, proud of the past and confident to the future.

The royal colours of purple and gold were selected as the official colours when the Association was organized in 1917. To Lions, purple stand for loyalty to friends and to one’s self, and for integrity of mind and heart. It is the traditional colours of strength, courage and tireless dedication to a cause. Gold symbolizes sincerity of purpose liberality in judgment, purity in life and generosity in mind, heart and purse to those in need.

The slogan “Lions” carries the meaning “Liberty, Intelligence, Our Nation’s Safety”.

The motto is “WE SERVE”.

Unforgetable Christmas Celebration with the Children

On the 27th of December 2008, leo members of SMKDL planned a Christmas celebration with the children of Rumah Wawasan. As usual, we prepared everything and surprisingly the celebration was more than I expected. Guitar players and vocalists were there . Vocalist who was our Leo president, Leo Sher Leen was practicing Christmas Carols before the celebration started.


It started at 9.30 am after waiting everyone's arrival. Christmas tree was sponsored by our handsome looking Leo Jun Wu.. The kids were eying to decorate the Christmas tree with the tinsels we prepared and yes, we took picture of them. (yay!)


We started our caroling session first. Unfortunately, we printed the wrong lyrics, it was a totally different lyrics that we were going to sing with them. Instead of a sing-along session, we sang in front of them. Those adorable faces were as innocent as fluffy bears, they couldn't really sing-along with us so they just looked at us. Without bored-ing them, we chose the simplest and famous songs among the caroling, "We wish you a Merry Christmas" and "Jingle-bells". Who wouldn't know how to sing? so yep, they sang!

Next it was the game session, Leo Farng Hui had this crazy game in her mind. The game goes like this, while singing the words out loud, you would have to move exactly the direction you mentioned.

"Side, side, side, side and front and back,
and side and front and side and back,
and side and front and back"

Try this game when you are free.. It would be a hilarious ice-breaking game. =D
They were separated into two groups and they started competing among each other. Of course, they had lotsa fun with the silly game!


*Stomachs growling* how could a celebration happened without any snacks? so yep! snack time after that. Food and beverage were given! yummy~

INFO ZONE

Coach Graver Started the Ball Rolling

Forty-eight years ago, Coach Jim Graver started ball rolling. Chances are the ball was a baseball.

Back in 1957, Graver was the coach of Abington High School, Pennsylvania, USA, baseball team. Graver was also an active member of the Glenside, Pennsylvania, Lions Club.

With fellow Lion, William Ernst, Graver talked about starting a service club for high school boys.

So they asked their fellow Lions for support. Without hesitation, the Glenside Lions agreed that a Lions Youth group was a good idea. Graver and Ernst set out to work.

On December 5th 1957, the Glenside Lions presented a charter to the Abington High School Leo Club whose member were mostly made up of high school's baseball team.

As the world's first Leo Club, the group created the acronym - Leadership, Equality, Opportunity, (equality was later changed to Experience). And, the group chose maroon and gold, their school colors to represent the club.

Recruiting New Leos

Recruiting new club members is an on-going process. Often, new club members introduce new club projects and activities.

Potential new Leo Club members can be recruited from among classmates, friends, and relatives.

Leos can ask others to help identify potential new members. They can ask teachers, coaches, family members, lions etc.

The media is another source for the recruitment of new Leos. The accomplishements of sucessful young leasders are often featured in the local media. Leos can contact these young achievers and invite them to join their Leo Club.

Once a young person exhibits interest in joining a club, Leo leaders can invite the prospect to the club's next fundraiser or service project. During the event, the Leos can introduce the newcomer to their club members. Allow the prospect to decide if Leo Club membership is right for him or her.

Leo Club Program and Motto

The Leo Club Program objective:

"To provide the youth of the world with an opportunity for development and contribution, individually and collectively, as responsible members of local, national, and international communtity"

Leo Club Motto:

LEADERSHIP
Leos learn the importance of cooperation through the performance of community services.

OPPORTUNITY

Membership in a Leo Club provide young people with a chance to excel, to develop character traits, and to recieve recognition for their contribution to the community.

Membership Retention Ideas

Keeping members active and involved is the responsibility of every club member. Leos can encourage new members in the following ways:

• Welcome new club members by personally introducing them to current members.
  
• Utilize the talent and interest of Leos.
• Organize a service project to provide members a sense of belonging and achievement.
• Praise club members for their accomplishments.
• Involve every member.
• Nominate Leos for awards whenever they qualify.
  

Retaining current club members is just as important as adding new members. Leos will remain interested in the club if it is:

1. Well organized.
2. Financially stable.
3. Is dedicated to important projects.
4. Promotes a sense of trust amongst members.
5. Keeps members involved.
6. Provides recognition for member's efforts.
7. Considers the input of members in club decisions.
