PRESIDENTS REPORT

Report to the 1st- Council Meeting held at Harare on the 12th of August 2006

Greetings to all, and I hope that we are all serving well.

Communication

Although we have not reached the desired levels in terms of our communication, I am glad to note that we are making effort to communicate fully at all levels from the clubs going all the way up. Please try by all means to communicate your activities to your region chair, the Leo Board, the Lions and International. Through communication our efforts can be recognised and thus rewarded.

Regional Meetings

Our council meeting gives us all the opportunity to meet and share ideas in various areas. This will be a platform to motivate all Leos as per our Theme this Leoistic Year. Not all of can attend these meetings and as such the region chairs will organize regional meetings now and again in the hope that all Leos have a chance to meet and learn. If a meeting is organized in your area please do make an effort to attend and learn, for it is in learning that we develop.

Leo Projects

One of the goals of our Leo program is for Leos to take a leading role in community development issues. After careful assessment of needs and thought the project takes off the ground and is implemented. The sad thing that I have noted is that although we are serving in some way ,are we getting a balance in our projects?I think we should all try to have wide ranging and different projects ranging from environmental projects, health related projects, personal development and of course our favorite, social projects. If we all aim for diversity in our projects we learn more and the community benefits more. So please can we have a variety of projects not the same projects over and over again. Don't be afraid of the challenge big projects bring, remember failure is the opportunity to start again, more intelligently and learn in the process .so go for it, what have you got to lose.

Membership:

We continue to have a steady membership base despite the problems that most Leos in Zimbabwe are facing. Leos in Malawi and Botswana are still serving but need a lot of motivation to help them serve better.

October is membership growth month. This is a month when all our clubs should focus our efforts on membership growth. Clubs should come up with different strategies on how to increase and retain members. Should you have more questions on this issue and how to plan your strategy please contact your Region Chair.
As an added incentive Leos who recruit three or more new members in October can receive the Leo Club Membership Growth Award. This is a lapel pin that will be award. Leo club advisors submitt(to the youth department at International Headquarters) their name and mailing address; the name of the Leo to receive the award : and the names of the new Leo Members. The closing date for the request is 30 November

So fellow Leos and Lions lets add new blood in our clubs. Remember that the only way a club can grow is to recruit new member to offset the ones that leave our clubs. Without this addition we would not have clubs after members leave.

District Dues

I know the Treasurer will have a lot to say regarding the payment of district dues. If your club has not paid its dues please do so, to help the district run smoothly

Finally, Allow me to take this opportunity to thank all my board members who are helping me. The teamwork that they have displayed is exemplary and they have been sure good team players. Keep it up fellow Leos

Also to all the Lions and Leo Patron for the various clubs in the district, I say to you, Thank you for showing faith in the Leo programe and the trust in the Leos and allowing them to serve. We don't take all your efforts for granted and thank you all

Fellow Leos, Lions and Friends remember to enjoy the little things in life, for one day you will look back and see that they were big things!

FINAL REPORT FOR THE PETERHOUSE ALPHA LEO CLUB

FINAL REPORT FOR THE ALPHA LEO
CLUB OF PETERHOUSE 2006

The Alpha Leo Club of Peterhouse has been invovled in numerous activities over the past year in order to raise money to assist the Marondera community, as well as to try and bring joy into the lives of the less fortunate.
The club started off by announcing nine new board memebers as well as welcoming the other fifteen members. They were then inducted in by the Leos form Harare West at a successful induction dinner held at Peterhouse on the 17th of June.
The Leo Club would meet every two weeks to discuss upcoming events as well as the plans for various visits. The year began with the club holding Z$80 000 and, bu October the Charity account contained Z$120000(revalued currency) as most of the money had been used to fund various charity events, whilst the administaration account held Z$1200(revalued currency). Once every two weeks they visited places in the community with the less fortunate, the sick and the old. The visited Marondera Hospital on the 20th of Febuary and spent time with the sick children. They also visited Kukura Neshungu, an institute for mentally and in some cases physically handicapped children. At borrodaile Trust, which the club visited occasionally, the club was able to sit and chat with the residents, while they ate the cakes the club had bought for them. The members also got a chance to lose themselves and play with the children of Nyameni Orphanage.
During the course of the year, the club took part in many fundraising activities. They ran tuckshops at various major sporting events as well as carrying out numerous raffles. At the beginning of the year, they held a Leo Club Joke Competition for both Peterhouse schools, which proved to be a great success, as they were able to but thirty blankets using the money they had raised, which they donated to Nyameni Orphanage. Soccer and Basketball tournaments were also held in which sufficient money was raised to fund other club activities. The club had planned to have a Leo Fun Day but, unfortunatly the project had to be prematurly ended due to lack of adequate funds. Using some of the money raised, the club was able to help a women named Mrs Mapfumo, a wife of one of the hired help at Peterhouse, who had been run over by a bus. They were able to raise enough money to buy her a new leg brace to replace the old one which had worn out.
Throughout the year, the club twinned with Nyanga High School, who the invited them to a workshop which was held on the 15th of September, but unfortunatly the Alpha Leo Club of Peterhouse was unable to attend .
In conclussion, the Leo Club would like to request for Leo badges or details on how these may be obtained.

Many Thanks

SELEBI-PHIKWE REPORT TO CONVENTION

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.
