ACTIVITIES
Blood Donation Campaign: The campaign was carried out on the 10th-12lh October2007 at the UB main campus. T-Shirts were given out to donors as incentives and 277people donated. The campaign was planned to continue on the 14th-15th at the FETcampus but could not because of the nationwide shortage in blood bags. It will again resume for 2 days as soon as the bags are available.
Social: To boost the morale of Leos we had a braai at a fellow Leo's place after ourmeeting on the 7th October 2007.
T-shirt sale: Club t-shirts were sold to members.P480 has been raised was raised fromtheir sale.
Induction: Two prospective Leos were inducted on the 30th October 2007.
Dinner Dance: the dinner dance was meant to be the biggest fund raiser of the year but it didn't turn out as good as we expected because Leos didn't do their part in selling the tickets so in the end it turned out into more like a social and we did enjoy ourselves. Out of an estimated profit of P4000 we ended up making just P271.60.

CHALLENGES:

The club is facing a really hard lime and experiencing a slow and painful death. This is evident from the fact that out of a planned 6 projects this semester only 2 were done (blood donation and dinner dance). The main reasons for the failures and inactiveness are:
Leos are not as passionate and enthusiastic as they used to be despite efforts made bymyself and the board.
We tend to plan elaborate projects that need a lot of planning and end up not beingable to implement them.
The biggest problem is with the "club veterans". These people tend to make so manypromises that they can't keep and most prospective Leos feel that they aredemotivated by them because some of them were involved in projects with them.Most projects that failed were headed by these people because they either don't showfor meetings to give progress reports or simply just don't communicate with peoplethey are assigned to work with.

We have resolved during the last evaluation meeting that:
We will go back to doing the very simple and basic projects so that we could keep themembers interested and active.
The veterans will not be included in planning projects but will however helpimplement them.

Peterhouse 2nd council Report

PETERHOUSE ALPHA LEO CLUB REPORT 2007
GWERU 2ND COUNCIL MEETING

For the year 2007, Leo Club had twenty-three members of which eight held board positions. The board members were: A. Mudikuti- President, H. Kujeke- Vice President, S. Hove- Fundraising Director, T. Chiposi- Secretary, V. Changa- Twinning Officer, E. Mpanduki- Projects Coordinator, O. Mhere- Protocol Officer and M. Chateris as the club Treasurer

The club members were: R. Makomva, T. Ramushu, V. Mujuru, R. Kanyangarara, M. Chikaura, A. Zinyengere, C. Hanly, M. Dhliwayo, T. Nhundu, T. Matope, P. Chidakwa, M. Finnigan, T.Chikwanda, Z. Chimedza and T. Gara.

At the beginning of the year, as Leo Club, we did not really know each other. As a result we had a team-building course in order to interact with one another. This was held on the 14th of January 2007. Then on the 24th of February our Leo District President, Leo Melusi, and Chair Person, Leo Chris, gave us an informative meeting on their recent visits around the country and a brief enlighten on their duties. They also told us the origins of the 1st Leo Club that was founded in Chicago 1917. He encouraged us to work as a TEAM and strive for excellence.

We had various fundraising activities to enable us to kick start the year. At the boys' school we managed to sell Borewors rolls, at the girls' school we had donught and hamburger sales, which racked in reasonable profits. We were able to fund the tuck shops, which were held at various sporting events like the rugby and athletics.

In the second term we held a soccer and hockey tournament. There was a very good attendance. Later during the term we organized a Basketball tournament. At both tournaments we had a tuck shop, and at the Basketball tournament we had a braai. Both these events raised sufficient earnings for us to progress as a club.

We visited a number of places namely Nyameni, Ida weKwako and Kukura ne Shungu. Our motto "WE SERVE" was put into play. With the money we raised we managed to supply Ida Wekwako with 9.5 liters of cooking oil, 34 bars of soap, 30 Kilograms of mealie meal. To Nyameni Orphanage we donated 54 shirts, 6 sweaters and 3 dresses. to Kukura NeShungu we donated 12 liters of cooking oil and 60 kilograms of sugar. To all three we gave smiles and created friendships. During the year we discovered one of the maids had ulcers and was in desperate need of medication we sponsored her visit to the doctor and the medication she required.

The highlight of Leo Club 2007 was the induction lunch. The Rector, Mr. Calderwood, who gave an inspirational speech on "Servant Leadership", addressed us and Leo Chris inducted us as the Leo Club of 2007. Besides good food and laughter, we all decided to pursue the advice Mr. Calderwood gave us.

Thank you.

LEO DISTRICT 412
LEO DISTRICT PRESIDENTS REPORT
REPORT TO THE 2ND COUNCIL MEETING HELD IN KWEKWE ON THE 9th OF DECEMBER 2006

Greetings to you all.!

As we approach halfway through our Leoistic calendar its time we take stock of what we have been doing for the past couple of months.If it is in soccer we would have called it Half time. As clubs we need to critically analyse how we have been operating. Have we been serving the community in our areas fully? Have we been working together as a team? Have our club projects reflected our abilities fully? Have you been communicating with other clubs, your region chair or any other board member? Each club can best answer these questions as to how you have been operating. It is very important that we be true to ourselves and answers them truthfully.
As individual Leos what has been our contribution to our club? Have we been part of the team? Have we stopped attending meetings or we come once in a while when it suits us? In order to move forward we need to look behind critically and learn from the way we were operating and if they are grey areas we need to pull our selves up and remember our obligations as Leos. We all joined to serve and please lest continue to serve and serve to the best of our abilities. Should we have any problems, lets use the Leo District Board for help. They are there to help, and they is no way they can help without being invited!

During this quarter I managed to attend the Induction of Tete Lions Clubs in Mozambique in August. Hopefully we will be also chartering a new Leo club soon. I also managed to attend the Malawi Lions national conference in November. I learned a lot from these trips and I got better insight on how we can serve better as Leos. I visited Harare West Leo Club in September, as part of the president's visits. I visited Bulawayo Leos in the hope of reviving the club as it has been having problems for sometime now. I had planned a lot more club visits but for one reason or the other most we cancelled at the last minute .1 will thus in the month of February try to visit most clubs in the district. Please liase with you region chair as we have already provisional dates .If the dates don't suite you please let us know in good time so as to avoid last minute cancellations.
In February from the 8th to the 10th , our District will be hosting an All Africa conference in Bulawayo at The Holiday Inn. This is a gathering of Lions from Africa. I kindly urge all clubs to make an effort to attend and learn

Finally , remember to take care of the minutes in life for the hours will take care of themselves !
