Leo District 412

Region 5 (Botswana)

Region Chairperson- Leo Kago Mathengwane

Region 5 (Botswana) Leo Advisors: Lion Gibson Kay-Khiwa

Date: 05/12/2008

Where: 2nd Council Meeting-Kutama College-Zimbabwe.

Greetings fellow Leos, Lions and Patrons.

This report is the same as the one presented at the first council meeting as nothing much has happened since then even though clubs are active ( Please refer to individual clubs reports for club activities).

First off, my apologies for not being present at this council meeting for reasons beyond my control.

I took over from Leo Hazi after the last Leo convention and we worked together up until the end of the Leoistic year. During this time I’ve been faced with the challenge of uniting a rather scattered region which has never been easy for my predecessors. There are 10 active Clubs in the region:

1. Leo Club of G-West

2. Leo club of Kgalemang

3. Leo Club of Mahalapye

4. Leo Club of Tsodilo

5. Leo Club of Molepolole

6. Leo Club of Madiba

7. Leo Club of Swaneng

with most being rather inactive such clubs are

1. Leo Club of Mater Spei

2. Leo club of Selebi-Phikwe

3. Leo club of Serowe-Ikageng

4. Leo Club of Ranokanyane

These are clubs which have been chattered but have since got out of action for various reasons, and we are working on reviving these clubs.

However, there has also been entrance to the region by new clubs which are yet to be chattered. These are Prospective Leo clubs of:

1. Molefhi

2. Lobatse

3. Francistown

4. Maun.

Even though these clubs have not yet been chattered, they have indeed shown great interest in Leo and it activities. Their efforts are highly commendable and I look forward to a great Leoistic year with these clubs. I am of great faith that Leo Region 5 will be tops very soon!

I have had club visits to two clubs this July and this was indeed beneficial to me and to the clubs, these are Leos of Madiba, Mahalapye, Kgalemang and Swaneng. The Leos brought out their grievances which included not much interaction between Leos and ideas for projects. However, after the meeting, they all promised to produce top projects and come the next convention, they will scoop all the awards. (REFER TO THE REGION MEETING REPORT ATTACHED).

Have a great Leo Council meeting. God Bless.

Leo Kago,

Region 5
