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 !

ALPHA LEO CLUB OF PETERHOUSE REPORT TO THE COUNCIL MEETING ON THE 12TH OF AUGUST 2006 IN HARARE

ALPHA LEO CLUB OF PETERHOUSE REPORT TO THE COUNCIL MEETING ON THE 12TH OF AUGUST 2006 IN HARARE

Greetings to all Leos and Lions,

The Club

Our club consists of 24 members with 9 of them holding board positions. The Leos from Harare West inducted us all on The 17th of June and it was a memorable evening. For meetings we meet once every two weeks to discuss upcoming events and our visits.

Finances: Charity Account-Z$120m
Administration Account-Z$1.2m

ACTIVITIES

Once every 2 weeks we visit places in our community with the less fortunate, the sick, or the old. Although we strive to go once every two weeks there are times when we cannot do so due to circumstances beyond our control. These are some of the places in our community that we have been able to serve so far.

a) KUKURA NESHUNGU
This is an institute for mentally and in some cases physically handicapped children. The matron Mrs Gambe spoke to us in length about how important it is to embrace the less fortunate in our community. All the members were able to open up their hearts and express their love to these children and enthusiastically play games with them. We donated stationery that the children would use at school.
b) MARONDERA HOSPITAL
When we visited this place we always went to the children's wards. We sat with the children and gave them fruit and talked to them, as we tried to make them forget the pain they were experiencing. We wished them a speedy recovery and sang songs with them.
c) BORRADAILE TRUST
This is an old people's home. It is always very pleasant to sit down and chat with the residents of this place while they would be eating the cakes we would have brought for them.
d) MARIRANGWE SCHOOL
We visited this place for the first time. It is a school in Marondera that is still developing and has children who walk very long distances just to attend this school. We visited them once and we were able to lose ourselves and play with the children after school and do many other activities.
e) NYAMENI ORPHANAGE
This place is also known as Musha Wevana. This is a place where some of the orphans in our Marondera community stay. When we visited them the children wasted no time in dragging us to their favourite play spots and forcing us to play games some of us had personally never heard of before. We never imagined the day 5 year old children would teach us pupils how to do things right especially in the form of games and entertainment. This was an unforgettable experience for us all. We were able to donate blankets to the children to protect them from the cold weather during winter.
f) MRS MAPFUMO
She is the wife of one of the cooks at Peterhouse. This lady was run over by a bus in the communal lands and therefore got her leg amputated from the knee down. 3 years ago Leo Club bought her a leg brace so that she would be able to walk properly, but this year she was having trouble walking because it had worn out. Mr Mapfumo then told our club about this and that he could not afford to buy a new leg brace for his wife and sought for our assistance. We were able to buy her a new leg brace which was fitted in, in July 2006.
g) FUNDRAISING
To fundraise for the club we usually
1)run a tuck-shop at major sports events like rugby and basketball matches
2)Carrying out raffles is also another way by which we fundraise e.g. cakeraffles.
3)Pop corn sales and burger rolls sales are also usually a success.
4)In the beginning of the year we held a joke competition within the schoolwhich proved to be a great success.
h) TWINNING
So far we are twinning with Nyanga High School and they have invited us to their workshop on the 15th of September 2006.

I) UPCOMING EVENTS include:
• Soccer and basketball Tournament
• Leo Club Fun Day
• School clean up
• A raffle
• Team building event
• Various popcorn sales and tuck shops.

In ending this report I want to remind all of you of this poem which sums up what a real Leo does.


I WILL DO MORE
I will do more than care, I will help,
I will do more than earn, I will enrich
I will do more than dream, I will work,
I will do more than teach, I will inspire,
I will do more than forgive, I will forget
I will more than fair, I will be kind,
I will do more than believe, I will practise,
I will do more than be friendly; I will be a friend
I will be more than a citizen; I will be a patriot,
I will do more than give, I WILL SERVE

I AM A LEO

If I had my way I would include a line which I feel is prominent and of great importance to both the club and to society and it goes like this:

I will do more than my best; I will do what is right.

I AM A LEO.

Projects:

Special Olympics (10-13 august)-Leos assisted the lions in preparing and serving food to over 400 participants during the Paralympics!

A lot of hard work but at the end of the day it paid off-was definitely worth it! The joy in those children's faces kept us going from as early as 0600 till around 2200pm!!!!!

Special thanks to the lions -who battled -with us, especially Lions president, Lion Carmo-she's a strong person!

Blood donation (September)-the blood donation is held every semester, twice a year in the university campus to assist the national blood bank whose cry is persistent blood shortage and reluctance of the general public to donate blood. This semester about 250 people donated blood.

Thanks to the dedicated leos of g-west lives have been saved and they continue to be!!

*District governor's visit (25.09.06)- District 412 District Governor Major Kebby Konnie paid us a visit en route from Lobatse and Jwaneng.we had a productive meeting and were given a banner for the club and some office bearers were given pins (secretary, treasurer and president). it was a very important day for our club-the district governor is not a frequent guest in any Leo club!!!!

Molepolole prospective Leos visit (07.10.06)-we are working with the lions club of Molepolole who want to charter a new Leo club and we visited the prospective Leos to chit-chat about leoism (experiences, leoism e.t.c).

Sponsored walk (14.10.06~) Lobatse-in support of the lions club of Lobatse and to try to recruit new members for the Leo club of Lobatse which we hope to revive soon! Leos were represented and our efforts paid off, we managed to talk some young people into recruiting their friends into the club. Some extra beautiful t-shirts were given to the Leos who attended and one for the club as memorabilia.

Many thanks to the lions of Lobatse..., for everything.

HIV/AIDS workshop (28.10.06)-the workshop was held as planned with the objective of establishing a practical partnership with senior schools in Gaborone and HIV/AIDS organizations. Despite the low turn over, the workshop was quite an experience.

December service trip (04.12.06)-This is an annual trip in which several projects are undertaken including: donation of blankets, toys, grocery to an identified destitute family (we'll also spend a whole day with them doing household chores!) Books will also be donated to the primary school where we will be lodging, car wash to raise money for the grocery, litter picking and grass slashing as our clean up campaign. We will also visit the pediatric ward of the hospital. In all we will spend 1 whole week this December passionately serving the Kasane community!

Great appreciation goes to the organizing committee, Leos Gaone,Hazi and Boitshepo

Carols by candlelight (10.12.06)-various, service organizations in Gaborone including us are organizing carols by candlelight for children in Gaborone. The event will be held on 10th December 2006.these are rotary club, round club, lions club and Leo club of g-west.

Leo D412 convention 2006-2007-We will be hosting the annual Leo district 412 convention at the university of Botswana during the 2007 Easter holidays and we are depending on all our lions to help us in every possible way. We are expecting delegates from all five Leo regions. Coincidentally Leos will be 50 years old next year, we want it to be a memorable 50 years birthday at the convention.(for more info refer to the convention update)

FUND RAISING:
Braai: objective is to have it every other weekend to raise money for our Kasane December service trip. This has not been realized so far because of problems with securing a venue for the braai.However, we have had 1 braai at a fellow Leo's residence.
Bookstall: it runs every Saturday spearheaded by the lions club. We get 15% of the sales.
Donation sheets: these were provided to every member of the club to raise money for the December service trip to Kasane.

NB: many thanks to the lions club of Gaborone who have sponsored our expenses to Kwekwe.
