Introduction
At the beginning of fiscal year 2015-16, District 308 B2 Leo Cabinet has set clear and ambitious
targets to be achieved during the entire fiscal year. While some of the item has started showing
results in the beginning of the fiscal year or the few months since then, many of the initiatives are
yet to show their outcome and are expected to do so only when the fiscal year coming closer to an
end.
However, at this point of time, when everyone in the world is celebrating the New Year, it is also
marking that the fiscal year 2015-16 has completed first half of its journey. It is now time for Leo
Cabinet to look back on what has been done during the past six months, what are the successful
stories to share, the failure which has happened throughout the journey, and most importantly, how
we can move forward to complete what was not done during this first half of the fiscal year.
This report will show you the agenda which have been completed during the first half of fiscal year
2015-16 based on the 6 main focuses of the term. In the same time, we will also point out where we
are moving towards in the second half of the fiscal year.
The arrangement of the report is according to the 6 focuses set earlier. Some of the initiatives by Leo
Cabinet have impact on more than one focus. However, they will only be mentioned once in the
report rather than appearing twice and be redundant.
We believe that Leo Cabinet can improve only with the inputs from everyone, be it a Lion, a Leo or
even if you are not related to this entire organization. We hope to hear from you on what we have
done and how we can improve.

officers, as well as the faculty advisors and the Leo advisors to

should function and so on. It was successfully published in

Publicity on Leo October Membership Growth Award

Increasing the awareness about awards available from Lions Clubs
International to the Leos is also another initiative by Leo Cabinet
in this fiscal year. To make a start, we promoted on Leo October
Membership Growth Award to the entire district during the
month of October. The Leos will need to register at least 3 new
members into MyLCI as new member and fill in a form to be
submitted to Lions Clubs International to qualify for this award.
From the list just released by Lions Clubs International, there are
15 recipients of this award, representing Leo Club of IPG Kampus
Perlis, Leo Club of Penang Metropolitan, Leo Club of Penang Light,
Leo Club of Sacred Heart as well as Leo Club of SMK USJ 4.

Correcting Mislabeled Clubs in Lions Clubs International Records

Leo Cabinet has found discrepancies between the records held by district and the
records by Lions Clubs International on the Alpha and Omega status in some
Leo Clubs. However, Leo Cabinet cannot make the correction for them or even
request for correction to the Lions Clubs International. This can only be done
through their sponsoring Lions Clubs. Thus, Leo Cabinet has taken the steps to
send out a template for the sponsoring Lions Clubs to be sent to Lions Clubs
International to correct the mistake. Till date, 4 out of the 7 cases identified were
already solved. They are Leo Club of SMJK Chio Min, Leo Club of SMJK Keat Hwa II,
Leo Club of Penang Chinese Girls High School and Leo Club of SMK Che Tom. The
other 3 cases are under active follow up and are expected to be solved soon.

Clubs Report Collection Centre

This was established from the beginning of the fiscal year for monthly reports
collection
purposes.
The
reports
were
collected
via
district308b2leocabinet@gmail.com. The reports collected are used as
reference for Leo Cabinet officers in knowing the latest projects and activities
done or planned by individual Leo Clubs, besides those that made their
appearance on the social media or any other medium. It will be kept for
future references as well. The submission of monthly reports to this centre is
not mandatory and is an option which the Leo Clubs can choose to opt-out.

Targets for the 2nd Half of Fiscal Year

Assisting Qualified Leo Clubs and Leos in Applying for Awards from
Lions Clubs International
The focus now will be on the following awards:
1. Leo Club Advisor 5-Year Service Award
2. Leo-Lion Serving Together Award
3. Lions Young Leaders in Service Award
Leo Cabinet will continue to identify suitable candidates for these
awards and will provide necessary guidance and assistance in
applying them. While we in Leo Cabinet strongly believe that
awards should not be the sole purpose or even the major purpose
of youth involvement in Leo Program, we do believe that the token
of appreciation and recognition received from Lions Clubs International will be a motivation for them
to move even further.

Correcting Mislabeled Clubs in Lions Clubs International Records

4 of the 7 cases have been successfully solved. However, there are 3 more
cases to go, which are:
1. Leo Club of SMJK Keat Hwa- Lions Clubs of Alor Setar (Host)
2. Leo Club of SM St. Mark- Lions Club of Butterworth Host
3. Leo Club of Bukit Mertajam High School- Lions Club of
Butterworth Host
Leo Cabinet will continue to follow up with the sponsoring Lions Clubs with the help from District
Chairperson for Leo Clubs to ensure that the mistakes can be rectify once and for all.

Encourage Clubs on Public Publicity about Their Successful Projects

Leo Cabinet is currently working on the Guidelines on
Preparation of Media Kit, Press Release as well as
compiling for a copy of potential media to be approached,
be it newspaper, magazines or radio station. The guideline
is likely to be released by February 2016. Then, Leo
Cabinets role on this initiative will be to identify potential
projects to be published and educate the Leos in charge in getting their projects onto the news.

Sharing of Successful Club Projects

Short clips featuring successful and meaningful projects will
be produced by Leo Cabinet to publicize and share those
projects not just to our Leos, but also to the public. The
target is to create 20 short clips by the end of the fiscal year.
In the same time, Leo Cabinet will also look outside District
308 B2 Leo Clubs and identify successful projects to be
shared among the Leos in our district.

Alpha to Omega Transition Encouragement

Some of the initiatives that will be taken include:
1. Production of a video clips on interviews of newly
converted Alpha Leos.
2. Proper documentation of the statistics of the
conversion for future references. (to be started in January
2016 with the assistance of all existing Omega Leo Clubs)
3. Invite current Alpha Leos to attend Omega Leo
Conference as a mean of exposure for them.
4. Alpha-to-Omega Conversion Recognition Certificate
5. Identify 5 Omega Leo Clubs to participate in the
Mentor-Mentee System and provide them with proper
guidelines.
While there are efforts which Leo Cabinet can take, there are still limitations as what we can achieve
on this target as the results of this depends a lot on the overall perception of Alpha Leos on Omega
Leo Clubs and this is not something which can be changed so easily.

Provide Help for Leo Clubs in Membership Recruitment and

Retention

Mid-Term Report

District 308 B2 Leo Cabinet 2015-16

www.leo308b2.org.my

Generally, Leo Cabinet members will continue to accept

invitations to give talks during meetings or recruitment drive.
Meanwhile, we understand that in many cases the problems
faced by each and every Leo Clubs are unique and should be
solved from within.

Ensure all Leos in District 308 B2 are Registered with Lions Clubs
International
We in Leo Cabinet believe that this is important as it helps
the individual Leos to record their service years which can
then be carried forward in the future when they convert
to become Lions. We are in the process of surveying clubs
by clubs on their MyLCI accessibility and updates on their membership registration status. We will be
providing necessary assistance if it is not accessible and will be providing guidance on how to use it
for clubs who are still new to it.

This new system will help Leo Cabinet to focus on inactive clubs or clubs
which need special attention in guiding them and ensuring that they
follows what is happening at the regional or district level. One Leo Cabinet
officer will take care of one to three clubs identified as inactive or weak.
This will only be done after it is consented by the respective sponsoring
Lions Clubs. Areas which will be focused will be different according to the
difference in need for every club. However, generally it will be based on
the following 12 areas:
General understanding of Leo Program
Officers understanding of individual roles
Projects
Members
Relationship with sponsoring Lions Club
Understanding of Leo Cabinet
MyLCI
Contacts with other Leo Clubs
Knowledge on Must Know Lions (names, positions of DG, DCs etc)

Omega Leo Conference 2016, which is currently scheduled to

District 308 B1 and District 308 A2 will also be invited to join
in. The dialogue will act as an ice breaking for all districts

together.

Leo Cabinet where the new relationships can be formed. However, efforts
will be continued and in the second half of the fiscal year, individual Leo
Clubs who are interested to build up new relationships with Leo Clubs in

The We Factor
District Go Green Initiative
The idea started with the District 308 B2 Go Green
Declaration but has then evolved into an initiative which
will help to maintain the sustainability of this Go Green

almost every active Leo Clubs in District 308 B2, sending
a strong indication of the determination of the district to
go green. The signing ceremony was done at regional
level to maximize the number of clubs which are able to
make it to sign this declaration. In Region 1, the signing
ceremony was done during the School for Key Officers.

Installation of District 308 B2 Leo Cabinet. In Region 3

Incorporation of Book Donation Drive into 7th District 308 B2 Leo
Cabinet Installation 2015-16

To show a good example to the Leos, the organizing committee of the Leo Cabinet Installation has
decided to turn this annual event into one which incorporates social service component, which is the
core of the Leo program. For this, two major steps have been taken. Firstly, we have invited about
20 kids from SuperKids Home in Alor Star to join in the lunch held in conjunction with the Installation
Ceremony for free. In the same time, we have also started a book donation drive as a platform for
the Leos to contribute back to the community by donating their unwanted books and allow it to be
circulated either to the local library or orphanages. The books which are collected are then donated
to SuperKids Home to build up their library.

Targets for the 2nd Half of Fiscal Year

Compilation of Lists of Orphanages, Old Folks Homes etc for
Reference Purpose for Leo Clubs
Leo Cabinet will be looking for current available contacts of the orphanages
and old folks home which need our help so that we can deliver our care to

be helpful on this.

Obstacle Course to train up their mentality and strengthening
their physical stamina and Critical Thinking session to ensure they think out of the box. Besides that,

across the regions. Champion and 1st runner up of each region will
also be representing their respective regions in the District Leo Quiz
final which will be held together with District Leolympics Finale.

Leolympics
Regional Leolympics has already been started in Region 5. In the
other regions, the games will also be started soon and are
expecting to be completely finished by early March 2016. As the
need for different regions are not the same, each regional
committee has the liberty to choose on the sports which they
would want to have in their regional Leolympics. However, Leo
Cabinet has again decided to standardize the medals across the
regions despite the different types of sports being competed. For
the District Leolympics Finale, it will be held in late March 2016 in
Perak and will be a 2 day 1 night event, which will also incorporate
social service project and District Leo Quiz as part of the agenda of
the entire event.
