LEO DAY CELEBRATION - VISITING TAN XIANG SHI YUAN OLD

FOLKS HOME

OC: Leo Wong Wei Lin

5th December is the official Leo Day which will be celebrated by Leo Clubs all around the

world. As Leo Club of AIMST University (Omega) is just newly formed, we feel that it is

essential for us to get back to the basic, that is, to serve and contribute back to the

community. In parallel to this aim, we have chosen to visit Tan Xiang Shi Yuan Old folks

Home in conjunction with the

celebration.

The event started at 8.45 am, where

all members gather at the cafeteria to

have a light breakfast before departure.

At around 9.15 a few selected member

begin loading the provision collected tobe donated to the old folk’s home to the

vehicles. After that, the delegation

departed from AIMST University at

9.30 a.m. With a journey of 30 minutes,

we arrive at the destination.

The first activity was a brief

introduction regarding the

background of the old folk’s

home by the person in charge

of running it. After that allmembers who were present

were given a tour around the

compound of the old folks

home. The tour lasted for

briefly around 1 hour.

At 11.00 am all the citizen of the old folk’s home were gather ed at the great hall where a

brief speech were given, follow by fellowship between the Leos and the old folks. A few

performances were prepared by the club members. Interestingly, some of the old folks have

even joined in when the Leos are actually performing.

Lunch was held at

12.15pm, where the

members were able tohave their lunch together

with the old folks who

were present at that time.

After lunch, it marks the

end of the trip to the old

folk’s home. Before we

bid farewell to the old

folks, a group photos of

TRIP TO SPCA

OC: Leo Sindu a/p Mahenoran

In the spirit of Leo, about eleven of the AIMST University Leo Club members paid a

visit to the Society of Prevention of Cruelty towards Animals (SPCA) on the morning of 11th

of December 2010. We initially wanted to do volunteering tasks at the shelter, but was

informed that only fully trained volunteers are allowed to walk and feed the dogs as well as

clean the dog kennels and cat pens. Thus we had the full afternoon playing and interacting

with our furry friends.

leaving campus. We took the

incurred no cost.

Once the tour was over, we had

a short briefing from the caretakers of

the place involving the work they do atthe shelter and the issues faced by

them. Mostly, the shelter was facing

space issues whereby they can only

afford to house a certain amount of

animals at any given time. If a dog or

cat isn’t adopted within a certain time

period (usually 4-6 months) it would be

humanely euthanized. Sadly, this is the

sad truth of the strays in the shelter,some of which were lost pets whose

owners could not be located or

contacted.

We hope with this visit, those who participated developed awareness of the reality of

inhumane acts on animals, thus inculcating compassion towards these animals among Leos.

The Leos were also exposed to the basics of running an animal shelter.. Most importantly, we

introduced the Leo club to SPCA Penang.

For those interested in donating or becoming volunteers,

feel free to visit http://www.spca-penang.net/ for learning ways

you can lend a hand to the shelter, including volunteering

opportunities.

Georgetown Mutiara, Penang has organized the

M.A.D Eco Parade and Fiesta at Penang Times

December 2010

and has ended on the next day. Among the events and

activities conducted on that day were Leo Exhibition,

Flea Market, Children Colouring Contest, Kids Talent

Quest and Street Dance Competition. The climax of the whole celebration is the Leo Parade around the

Georgetown on the 5th

December 2010.

Leo Club of AIMST University (Omega) is

privileged enough to be invited to join in this mega

celebration. Due to the fact that there is already a

home project being carried out on the same day, we were only able to send a team of 6

members to attend the event. The members that have attended the celebration include Leo

Wong Tze Cheng, Leo Amy Ting Li, Leo Chew Chu Han, Leo Valane Tang, Leo Ooi Yen

Wen and Leo Winnie Lai. It surprised us to see such a big number of Leos attending the

event. As it is a region project, Leos have come even from Selangor and Perak to show their

support.

We have reached Penang

Times Square around 8.30am. Upon

completing the registration process

and a short briefing, we were all set

for the parade. We have covered areas

like Komtar, Penang Road and so on.Along the journey, the Chingay and

drums which have accompanied us

have given us strong motivation to

continue to stay fresh along the entire

journey. To add to these, the ‘roaring’ and the eco costume of other Le os have motivated us.

It took just a short moment for us to realize that we are already at the end of the parade which

has actually taken more than an hour.

At around 9.15am, we are back to Penang Times Square. A light breakfast wasprovided by the organizing committee. While waiting for the official opening ceremony of

Some of our members

The drum team



the event which is scheduled to start at 10.00am, we

managed to have a walk around the Flea Market held

together with the parade. It took us not long to realize that

there was actually no plastic bags and polystyrene plates

and cups used during the entire event.

Upon the arrival of the guest of honour, the official

ceremony began with the national anthem. A few speeches

was delivered. Most of the speeches has touched on the

concept of Making A Difference (MAD). Lion Alan Thoo

has even given the illustration on how a small step by every

Malaysian to just use 1 plastic bag less can have on the

environment. The official ceremony was rounded off by the

awards, souvenirs and certificates presentation to respective

clubs that have participated.

After that, 6 of us from AIMST

University managed to have a luncheon

with OC Leo Lim Kek Teong together

with several Leos from Leo Club of

Georgetown Mutiara, Leo Club of IPG

Perlis and so on.
