About Region Chairperson
Leo Chris Bvunzawabaya Club is from Harare West, Region: 2 Joined the Leo Club program in the leoistic year as a member of Leo Club of Chiredzi in the 1998-1999 to 20001-2002 then moved to Harare were I joined the Leo Club of Harare West in the leoistic year 2002-2003
Introduction
The Leoistic year 2006- 2007 was a difficult and momentous one for the Region 2; difficult bacause of an extremely challenging economic environment that saw inflation averaging 1033% and momentous with the revival of the region.
It is pleasing to note that the revival of our region has proceeded smoothly and the results at Region 2 have been particulary pleasing with the being turned around in a relatively short space of time from my appointment of Region 2 Chairperson at the beginning of the year.
It is indeed remarkable that all these achievements by the Region were made against the background of a deteriorating and challenging macro economic environment, proved to be a very challenging period for most Zimbabweans.

Twinning
The region through its region chair has twinned with region all the other regions especially region 2, 3 and 4. Helped in the revival of Bulawayo Omega by introducing former alpha leos to the region chair. However twinning with region 1 and 5 proved dificult to get hold of the chairpersons.
Club Visits
I conducted a very successful orientation seminar held on the 20th of September at Scouts Hall which was well attended by Dangamvura leos and graced by Mutare the Mountain Dew Lions Club members where i chronicled on the history of the Leo Club Program
On the 21st of September 2006 i had an opportunity to visit Mutare Agricultural Show were I met members of the Mutare Lions Club and Mutare the Mountain Dew who were on duty, fellowship with them.
Ivisited Hillcrest and Dangamvura Leos on the 23 of February 2007 in the company of the District President during his club visits
I Had the opportunity to visit Peterhouse Leos on 24 february 2007 once again in the company of the LDP.
I Visited the Leo club of Chiredzi in March 2007

Public Relations
The level of publicity was commendable in the region with activities among them the Sight First Commemorations aired on both Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation Television and Radio News
District Dues
Payment of district dues by most clubs continue to be a thorn in the flesh maily because of lack of communication to the clubs by the respective authorities given the mandate to run the affairs of the district treasury.To this end most clubs are not in good standing as traditionally they get communation from the treasurer therefore opted to go by tradition, unfortunately no one communicated to them.
Appreciation
On behalf of the region i wish to acknowledge the contributions of various stakeholders for the Region's perfomance in the year under review. It has taken tremendous effort and commitment on my part to steer the region's clubs to post excellent results during an exciting period of revival against the background of a difficult economic environment characterised by unprecedented challenges. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to my fellow District Board members, Region 2 Leo Clubs, Leos, Patrons and Leo advisors for their commendable perfomance under these challenging circumstances. I have no doubt in my mind that the team work and commitment within the region will continue to deliver good results in the Leoistic Year 2006-2007 and beyond.
