Spotlighted! KLCC In The News!

Late last January 2007, a bunch of us bravely tripped down to Port Dickson to save the world do some goodness for Mother Earth by cleaning the oft-polluted beaches there.

Although we were already jam packed with plannings for Youth Exchange Programme, annual jumbo Jumble Sales and the fantastic 'Sharing Hearts, Sharing Hopes' project umbrella initiated by our very capable LeoSuperwomanJoanne, we wanted to do an environmental project.

So we sat down and cracked our heads.

Just what exactly can we commit ourselves to without compromising our existing projects? Ideas flew fast and furiously around during the few meetings when we broached this subject.

After much discussion, we finally settled onto doing a Beach Clean-up Project jointly with our sponsoring Lions, the Lions Club of KL Cheras, together with the Lions Club of Lukut 88.

Several ideas, changes and emergencies [OMG, no one brought the Coke?] later, we finally did it!

Us Leos went down to PD one day earlier with the mad idea of having some jolly fellowship before we got down to tackling the beach the day after, even though most of us were pretty skeptical if we would wake up in time the next morning! Lol.

Monkey bonding session at the balcony?

Although it was tiring, what with all the constant bending over (no puns intended) and the excruciating heat of the sun, we were quite happy and satisfied with our haul of the day - 3 huge bags of beach trash!

Nothing like water to quench our thirsts

Even Abby, Leo May and Leo Maybel's pet retriever was happy, dashing to and fro around the beach and even into the sea before returning to us to splash everyone with a huge dose of sea water treatment for our skin. Lol.

Success! Mission accomplished!

After the beach clean-up, the Lions sprung a surprise invitation to us, graciously inviting us to attend an Open House party of one of the Lukut 88 Lion members.

Several months later, we received an even nicer surprise~!

Once again, we would like to express our sincere thanks to the Lions Club of KL Cheras and the Lions Club of Lukut 88 for their help, support and warm hospitality!

It was a successful project from many angles, and who knows, we might be able to hold this project regularly again come future?

*Grins*

We'll keep you posted, guys!
