Then, it was roll call, where every Lion and LEO members present gave three roars with much enthusiasm and pride when their names or club names were called. The Guest of Honour, Lion Richard, then gave a speech about the significance of being a LEO member and proceeded to share his experience as a LEO member, which began when he was in secondary school. Lion Richard was then invited back up on stage to officiate the opening ceremony of the event, along with the Organising Chairperson of the event, LEO Bernard Tang, as well as some fellow Lions.

Following the group photo was another speech by the Presiding Officer, Lion Justin, and the presentation of tokens of appreciation to the guests present. The LEO members present were then separated into four groups to carry out the service community session, where interactive and fun games were prepared for the LEO members. The first station, which focused on the environment, taught the members about the importance of recycling and reusing. The LEO members were then given plastic bottles to be made and decorated into plastic baskets or pencil holders. The next station, which focused on
vision, taught the members about the different types of eye diseases, their causes and their treatments. The LEO members were then blindfolded and led around the school compound to raise awareness of the struggles blind people face and to instill trust amongst the LEO members. After that was the diabetes station, which taught the members about the ways to prevent diabetes through a few mini station games. Lastly, the LEO members were reminded to cherish food in the hunger station. Discussions about Soup Kitchens and the cause of hunger were also held at the last station.


The event came to an end with the closing ceremony and a speech by LEO Bernard Tang, who expressed his gratitude to everyone who attended the event and to his committee members for ensuring the success of the event. There was another group photo session and refreshments were served. Overall, the event was indeed a successful one and managed to get the LEO members from different clubs to know each other better. Also, happy birthday to all the LEO members out there!
