LEOS CLUB OF SELEBI-PHIKWE
CLUB REPORT PRESENTED AT THE DISTRICTS CONFERENCE IN GABORONE (UB),
6TH-9TH APRIL 2007
MEMBERSHIP
Our membership stands at 10, 9 Leos and only 1 prospective member.
MEETINGS
We have one meeting in a month on Saturdays, but we do hold meetings frequently if we are carrying out projects. The club meetings have been put on hold since August 2006 and we resumed this year Feb 10, 2007.
PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
STORM VICTIMS
On 12th December 2006 some members of the club joined the Lions club Disaster Committee to assist the victims of the rains that hit hard in Phikwe around November. These victims from the areas Botshabelo, Ikageleng and Sesame were given food and toiletry supplies such as vegetables, flour, soap e.t.c.
UNIFORM DONATION (FEB)
The club members donated their school uniforms which were then given to the guidance
teacher in Selebi- Phikwe senior school to pass on to the necessary people.
DONATION BOX
We got a donation box made to place in stores so that people may donate whatever they can. The box has a little slot for inserting money and another slot for when we want to remove the money. It also has a sticker with the club name and purpose for the donation box. Our first donation box was placed in OK Supermarket on the 1st April 2007. We are still negotiating with the other shops to let us place our donation boxes in their shops.
SEARCH FOR NEW MEMBERS
The current club members are school leavers who are all planning on going away in the near future, hence our P.R.O took letters to the headmasters of junior schools to try and convince them to help us find responsible students who can become members of the club. We also requested that the schools sponsor the chosen students. The idea seemed to please the school heads and we are expecting a positive response from them next week.
FINANCES: For charity- P30. 00
For administration- P 135.50
CHALLENGES
The has club few members and some have already moved out of town handicaps the Club a bit when it comes to carrying out some project.
We are also experiencing lack of support from the community e.g. we have been trying to sell our luncheon tickets and only a few people have bought. Despise this we are still hopeful that in time people we come to support us.
