In a few days.. comes the 14th of August 2010... the date marks a historical moment where District 308B1 & B2 (Malaysia) will combine as one (again)....! Both District's District Governor, Y.Bhg Dato Yeow and Hudson Hah, will be signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that will mark the beginning of a series of combined efforts to foster better understanding via fellowship, events and programs.
These areas of working include International Relations, Leadership and training, Sight Conservation & Work with the Blind, Youth Camps and Exchange, Cultural and Community Services and last but not least, the Leo Club program.
This initiative by both the District Governors inevitably enhances the two districts' understanding about how to serve the community together, build a safer environment together, giving & sharing together as one! This is like...
"Serving With Passion Together As One...."
On another note, the Leo Clubs for both Districts, have already kicked start an informal working relationship since early this year with a Go Green 3R project at Mahkota Parade , Melaka, where Leos from both district combined efforts to organize the competition together!
And then, over facebook, we worked miracles as District 308B2 LEO Cabinet President, Eliza Chia posted the plight of a little 10 year old Thalessemia patient called Liew Chon Kong on her facebook. Chon Kong needed RM350 000 for his operations in Taiwan to continue living! Leo Eliza pledged RM100.00 and everyone else started pledging too..! In less than 24 hours, the Leo Cabinet reposted the article on the Star newspaper, and they raised RM1000.00 overnight! And in 7 days, we raised a total of RM25 000.00!!!!!!!
Both District Chairpersons for Leo Clubs, myself (B2) and Lion Sashekala (B1), Leo Cabinet officers and Leos & Lions, visited Liew Chon Kong to present him with the cheque.
This was also featured on 8TV's Night Live too!!!!
