Leo Orientation Day

Leo Orientation Day is an annual event held by the Leo Club of Wesley Methodist School to create a positive attitude and favorable impression on the club among the Leo members. Other than that, this project will also educate our newly recruited members on the roles of the members in the club as well as to obtain more knowledge about Leo Clubs. This year, our Leo Orientation Day was held on the 16th of January 2015 from 3.30 p.m. to 5.00 p.m. in the lecture theatre of Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur. The organizing committee for this event consisted of five senior Leo members, including Leo Lye Ming Han as the organizing chairperson, Leo Gan Hui Ying as the assistant organizing chairperson and three committee members, Leo Marcus Tan Khai Weng, Leo Lim Wee Xin and Leo Aishwarya Arul.

This year, we were honoured to have the President of Lions Club of Ampang, Lion Natalie Gan Yen Ling, Principal of Wesley Methodist School Kuala Lumpur, Madam Chia Loy Tian, District Chairperson for Leo Clubs, Lion Foo See Yow, Immediate Past President of Lions Club of Ampang, Lion Terrence Foo, Treasurer of Lions Club of Ampang, Lion Teoh Choon Sing and one of our Leo Advisors, Lion Tan Poh Ling to attend the event.

Before the event, all Leo members gathered outside of the lecture theatre at approximately 3.25 p.m. and entered the lecture theatre at 3.30 p.m. We waited patiently for the invited guests who arrived around 3.40 p.m.. After all the guests have been seated, the emcees, Leo Aishwarya Arul and Leo Tan Wei Xin began with their opening speech. The Presiding Officer, Lion Natalie Gan was invited to call the meeting to order. Then, all the guests present rose upon the singing of the Negaraku followed by the recitation of the Leo pledge. Then, a roll call took place where the emcees read out the names of the guests present. The Lions stood up and roared with all their spirit put in it when their names were called.

After the roll call, the Presiding Officer, Lion Natalie Gan was invited to present her speech. Following Lion Natalie Gan’s speech was a speech from our beloved Principal, Madam Chia Loy Tian. Her speech was regarding the long history of our Leo Club in our school and how the club has done the school proud in many ways as well as to encourage the members of the club to keep up the good reputation and the proactive involvement in activities for the betterment of the community and the country.

After the speeches was the main program of this event. At approximately 4 p.m., Lion Foo See Yow began the orientation session for the Leo members. He started off with an inspiring video, followed by a talk on the structure of the Lion Clubs and Leo Clubs, explaining the massive network of Lions and Leos in details. He then proceeded to introduce many events held throughout the year by the Lions Clubs. For example, the Youth Exchange Program where the Leos get to go on an exchange homestay program to another country like Japan, learning about the local’s cultures and strengthen bonds amongst fellow Leos at the same time. In the end, he ended the orientation by urging all new Leo members to be very proactive in serving the community and the country and wished our Leo Club all the best.

After Lion Foo’s orientation, our club president, Leo Kok Jia Yunn presented the tokens of appreciation to the guests present. The token of appreciation was a high quality towel wrapped in a cupcake cup and attached to the towel was a button that has the Leo logo on it. After the presentation of the tokens of appreciation, the event was adjourned by our Presiding Officer, Lion Natalie Gan. Guests were then invited to proceed to the canteen to have some light refreshments which were toasted kaya flavoured bread accompanied with konyakku jellies with longan flavor as well as tea and ribena to go with it. The guests were accompanied by a few Board of Directors and our faculty advisors. The remaining Leo members stayed in the lecture theatre for the next event, Leo Camp opening ceremony. With that, the event ended with minimal problems.
