Lions Club of George Town - Club Visit
After traveling
extensively, I was delighted to return to my hometown in Penang. Reflecting on my
journey, I realized how far I have come since my early days as a novice Lion in
1964. In 1981, I was given a mission to form the Lions Club of George Town
Central, and in 1988, I initiated another Lions club, Lions Club of George Town
Mutiara, culminating in my current role as District Governor after 32 years.
My next club visit would
be LC George Town on 12/8/1997, the club where I was inducted as a Lion. It
should be a friendly environment as I knew all the members of the club. President Ooi Aik Seng presided over the
meeting. The meeting took place in one of the function rooms at the Crown
Prince Hotel in Tanjung Bunga.
As I was called
upon to give my address, I formally spelt out my mission and vision of the
district to the members. I told them I was pleased to see that the club had
also extended invitations to key officers from the Leo Club. Such an initiative would
serve as an excellent opportunity for the Leos to observe and learn the proper
conduct of meetings in the Lions’ tradition.
As was customary, the Lions of George Town concluded their meetings with a fellowship, which I observed fostered a strong sense of camaraderie among them. The atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful. I had always found solace in attending these meetings, where professionalism is maintained alongside adherence to Roberts' Rules of Order.
