"2+3= 10....!"

The idea of "2+3" was to save resources and have a good event at the end of the day! Hence, the Lions Club of Ipoh Bougainvillea City (IBC) and the Lions Club of Ipoh Metro New Century (IMNC) decided to turn this idea and concept into a reality. Together with the sponsored Leo Clubs...

The installation of the Board of Directors for the fiscal year 2010/2011 for IBC and IMNC takes lead. Then, followed by the installation of the Board of Directors for Leo Club of Ipoh Unity (sponsored by IBC) and the brand new Leo Club of Ipoh Metro Omega (IMO), sponsored by IMNC. The last one would be the installation of the District 308B2 Leo Cabinet! Hence.. we have 2 Lions Clubs and their sponsored Leo Clubs together with the Leo Cabinet i.e. "2+3"

In his speech, Guest of Honour - District Governor Hudson Hah stressed again, on the importance to serve above ourselves, embrace all challenges and not view problems as problems! He told us that it is very important for Lions and Leos to Serve with Passion! Without Passion, there is no way we will be able to provide unconditional love to the needy ones, he added.

Honourary member for IMNC, 8TV & NTV7 Celebrity host & actor, Lion Baki Zainal, received an appreciation pin from DG Hudson Hah for his efforts to take time off his busy schedule to contribute to the community! He praised Lion Baki for his work and passion towards Lionism and hope that more will be like him.. Serving With Passion!

Another receipient of DG's pin was Charter President of Leo Club of Ipoh Metro Omega (IMO), Leo Zenny Lyn Salihuddin. If you don't know by now, Leo Zenny was the Champion of Astro's Biggest Loser Asia Home Champion, pocketing USD$12000.00!
She has been giving lots of inspiration to fellow Leos and Lions as she struggled and achieved her goals. FYI, Zenny was part of the Top 30, and got kicked out in Round 2. However, all at-home contestants were still able to compete for the prize money so as long as they continue to work out under the Fitness First program. Zenny emerged Champion in that category, losing 32kg in less than 3 months.

DG Hudson Hah in his speech said, "She inspired me as she embraced all the challenges with one word.. PASSION! It is with her passion to succeed that brought home that trophy!"

Presentation of mock cheque of RM10 000 contribution to the National Kidney Foundation from IMNC Lions Club, witnessed by DG Hudson Hah, and received by Teen Ambassador from National Kidney Foundation, recording artiste Leo Azizi Zakaria and Fundraising Director of NKF, Lion Shirley Koh. IMNC spent no less than RM20 000 in the last 6 months funding the "Save Your Kidneys" program that took Azizi and a team all over Malaysia to approximately 80+ schools to conduct awareness exhibition and talks on dangers of kidney disease.

The District 308B2 LEO Cabinet... One for the album! Running in the second term, contrary to many skeptical minds and conservatism... The Leo Cabinet has been very successful in providing endless support and aid to the Leo Program in our District. More of their activities will be reviewed in time to come. For starters, via Facebook, they raised RM 25 000 for a 10 year old Thalessemia patient in 7 days. We believe action speaks louder than words. We have never seen such great concerted effort of all Leo Clubs in the District in such a short time frame.

Roar!
