Joint Visit - Leo Clubs of Anderson, Pei Yuan Kampar, SIS & Unity (O)

The Leo Clubs of Anderson Ipoh, Pei Yuan Kampar, Idris Shah Gopeng & Unity (O), organized a joint fellowship lunch in Kampar recently! Pei Yuan Leo Club President, Leo Choo Mun Yee said, "This is a great fellowship especially for my club members as we have never had visitors from Ipoh for a long time, doing a charity project together as well as having a great time laughing and teasing each other!"

Past President of Ipoh Unity (O), Leo Eliza Chia said that even though she is from an Omega club, she felt that participating in this project has been a great experience as she could share her experiences with the younger Alpha Leos too! Eliza, who is also heading a contingent to the up & coming Hong Kong OSEAL Leo project in Hong Kong, will be inviting some Leos from there for a fellowship visit next year!

Leos from all 4 clubs having a great lunch together while chatting and exchanging thoughts and ideas on how to create a better society for everyone...

Here's a video of the visit and what some of the Leos have to say....


The Leo members ready to go into the Old Folks Home in Bandar Baru Kampar... unfortunately the management requests us to respect the privacy of the old folks there and we were not able to take photos inside the home. Nevertheless, the Leos were happy that they had spent some great time with the aunties and uncles... and were also taken on a special "tour" around the home by a staff of the management. They also donated rice, noodles, luncheong meat etc to the home

Oldest Club in District 308, ANDERSON LEO CLUB, celebrates its 38th Anniversary!!!

The Oldest Leo Club in Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei, or better known to all of us as the Multiple District 308..Anderson Leo Club (Ipoh), recently celebrated it's 38th Anniversary in a very special way!

Many clubs in the District usually hold such an occasion in their own school hall with loads of activities... or hold an anniversary in a hotel or cafeteria somewhere!

Well, for the Anderson Leo Club, they chose to think out of the box this time round.. and instead of having a big bang celebration, they hosted their Anniversary outside their school... at the Jelapang Old Folks Home! How much more meaningful an anniversary can get by doing so?

Jeremy Goh, Vice President of the Club said, "It is very important that we trace our past records. Recently, I looked at some of our old reports and found out that our seniors in the 1980's actually visit this home very frequently.. ". He added, "By holding our 38th Annversary at the Home, we not only share our joy and happiness with the old folks here, but also remind our members that it is very important that we take good care of our parents in the future and should work very hard so that we can take care of them at their old age..."

Organizing Chairperson, Marcus Choo also added that he was delighted that about 40 members turned up for the event with past Leo members from the club, who are now Lions (Ln Alan Thoo, Ln Kenneth Yeoh, Lion Justin Khoo).. also came and joined in the fun!

Jeremy and Marcus also sang 2 songs in the Karaoke session later. Other members also grouped up to dedicate songs to the old folks to bring music to their ears!

GUEST SINGERS: Left ~ DiGi CelebriTeen Penang Champion, Saban performing some oldies.. & Right ~ Leo Advisor Lion Justin Khoo from the Lions Club of Ipoh Host sharing his talented voice with everyone!


The function lasted for about 2-3 hours... then, the Leos presented some hampers to the home plus a donation of RM500.00 too!

Welfare Projects by Leos in Perak

The Leo Club of Ipoh Unity members paid a visit to the Precious Gift Home. Eventhough only 3 members attended, they brought clothing, bags and toys to the kids.

They spent some good quality time there and the children loved their presence. "We hope more Leo Clubs will be able to provide more of such visits to help ease the burden of the caretakers, and sometimes these children just want an extra companion to play with or talk to", said Mr Morris, their Chief caretaker.
