Region 2 Report 2nd Council Meeting 8- 10 December 2006

LD412 REGION 2 REPORT
2nd Council Meeting 8- 10 December 2006

Greetings to you all

This council meeting comes on the backdrop of major challenges in the District. In Zimbabwe the economy has hit us hard. Leos will take the economy heard-on and prevail.
Communication was poor hence the performance of the district slowed down. However, some of the clubs made significant contributions to the society as reflected in their reports. Region 2, being the biggest in terms of numbers, has a lot to offer to society to fulfil our obligation.
Our aspirations are to do more and more in our communities. I'm proud to say that the LEO spirit still lives and young boys and girls are coming aboard the LEO train.

Lastly I would to urge all the Leaders, which includes everyone, we are all leaders, to play our part in serving our community.
