FAREWELL CELEBRATION 2010

In a very memorable morning of 4 September 2010, our club organized the Farewell Celebration for the outgoing board of directors fiscal year 09/10. This is a great effort by the Organizing Chairperson, Leo Jeffrey Cheah and the organizing committees (form3) to appreciate the contribution of outgoing BODs in club. 13 outgoing BODs and many members (50 Leos) had supported this celebration.

The farewell was started with the National Anthem, Lion Spirit and Leo Pledge led by the Leo President Vincent Liew. Next is the address by the Faculty Advisor, Mr Henry Soon and Immediate Past President, Leo Daniel Kok. In speech of our faculty advisor, he expressed his sincere gratitude to all the outgoing BODs for their hard work and support in every project and activities. He hope that everyone will take them as the role model so that we all can do better and lead the club to a greater height. In speech of IPP Leo Daniel Kok, he said that teamwork and unity are very important to the road of success. Because of these, our club had a chance to win numerous awards during Leo Forum this year such as Outstanding Club, Outstanding President, Top Vice President, Outstanding Secretary & Treasurer, Top Directors, Top Member, Top Project and much more. The speech of our club president also stated that we all would stand here or have the achievement today without the involvement of outgoing BODs in club.

After the opening ceremony, we had a interesting programme to kick start the farewell. There was a singing performance with the song "We Are The World". This song implied a big and special meaning as it is the spirit of all the leos in Leo Club of Sam Tet. Here we are going to share some lyrics in the song and hope you can understand it well ..............

WE ARE THE WORLD
There comes to a time
When we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day by day
that someone, somehow will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me.

   
The next programme is the games session. This was very encouraging to foster a better ties among each other. We all played happily and our bodies also became dirty too (you can see the photo below). Games, games, games, it was totally fun as all of us just joined without the feeling of shy.

Gambateh !!! show our spirit of outgoing !!!

Oopss...is that Leo Tom Chong crying??? Hahaha..Just joking la..He was playing the game until so happy..

 This is called the 'respect' for the outgoing BODs. Be careful to all the BODs this year!!! HAHAHA

After that, the delicious caterer was waiting for us. All of us chat with each other to share some experiences in the lunch time. The outgoing BODs also thanked Mr Henry Soon for his support and guidance in making the club such systematic.

After around 3 hours, the farewell had came to an end. Souvenir Presentation hope all the outgoing BODs can always remember the moment serving in the club. Once a Leo, Always a Lion, their spirit will not end here and they feel glad that they had a happy moment in club.

Once again, sincere THANKS to all the Outgoing Board of Directors fiscal year 2009/2010.
