Happiness

Hello LEOs,

I was just browsing through a few pictures on our facebook group - Taylor's LEO Club and I came to realization that happiness in LEO Club is a whole new different perspective in life.

For most of the people, our club is perhaps mediocre, or shall I say, just plain redundant?

I mean, who'd have thought of joining the LEO Club, with excess "advertisement" of "helping and serving the needy" through the hardwork at the ECA, hand in hand with your college work?

Furthermore, fund raising activities in Taylor's LEO Club had been rather..disappointing, if you compare the donations we give to the donations the millionaires outside give, with lots more hard work and time.

For all that has felt in LEO Club, the fatigue and despondence, the overwhelming stress, its reward outweighs all the negativity in the process of making a difference, or in our terms, creating a rainbow.

Here I have a few pictures to depict the meaning of happiness in LEO Club.

The year has come to an end. I may not be the president anymore but I hope that my leadership throughout the year would nurture new and proficient minds out there to improve LEO club as a whole for the many years to come.

Thanks!

Signing off,

Yee Shuen

Ex - President.

BE A PART OF US!

Hello June/July intake members!

We're providing the following oppotunities, JUST FOR YOU GUYS!

1. PR & IT director

We need ONE PR and IT director, duration would be starting 1st Nov till next year, the end of your course.

Basically, this director creates all posters that has to do with our LEO activities, create flyers, or even updating our the layout of our blog.

If you like photoshop, or doing any designs using the computer, please submit one of your designs, if it's voted best, you're in! :)

Of course, I'm pretty sure that all who sign up for this are talented artistically!

2. Trip to home

Proposed date: Nov 26th (subject to changes)

We need you! Bring our LEO troop to a home, plan the activities, make a difference in the lives of others!

This is a simple project, a brief overview would be choose a home, contact a person for transport, plan games for the kids!

We can even go to refugees kid's homes, or old folks home, as long as we have a big heart with us as we visit them :)

A simple project but it's the start when you learn a whole lot of skills such as working as a team, event planning and such. Get a group of friends to work on this! One can plan the games, the other settle transport!

3. Charity Christmas Sales @ Subang Parade

Well, this is a little bit tricky, but you'd be enlightened along the process!

We need a whole troup on this, the more, the better, less jobs for each! :)

Project Aim: Raise funds for our club, or raise funds to specific societies, well raise funds for the betterment of the people!

Porject outline: Set up a Christmas tree, sell cards for people to hang on them, provide a Santa for kids to take pics, sell christmas presents, etc :)

For this event, we will have a committee meeting with all of you to brainstorm ideas and make it better! You won't feel lost too! A very interesting event.

Should you be interested, or require more information about any of the oppotunities above, feel free to contact me, Yee Shuen (President) at looyeeshuen@yahoo.com. I can meet up with you if necessary :)
