LEO CLUB OF NEW NORFOLK

Charter Night Celebrations

The LEO Club of New Norfolk was chartered on the 14th December 2007 at a function in the Lions Club of New Norfolk rooms. Guests included DGE Lion Robin Randell, Zone Chairman Jan Crump, LEO State Coordinator Toby Crawford, LO Advisor (Glenorchy LEOs) David Triffett, District LEO Chairman Andrew Connor, Lions and family members.

The LEOs had chosen a uniform of maroon and gold and this was displayed in public for the first time at the formation dinner.

The induction of the new Leos and the installation of club officers was carried our by MD201T1 District Leo Chairman Andrew Conner.

Chairman of the Tasmanian Lions Foundation, Lion Toby Crawford, presented the club with a cheque for $500. This money is provided so that the new club will have funds in its activity account and can therefore start working in the community. Lion Toby is also the State Coordinator for Leos.

One LEO, Treasurer Tamara attended the recent 201T1 Lions District Convention. On the Friday evening she came back to LEO Advisor Barrie and said she had met this great dude from New York. It turned out to be the Lions First International Vice President Al Brandel.

She obviously made an impression as IVP Al wanted to present her with the International President’s pin (one of only three presented), however she had to leave the convention early (to enable Lion Barrie to meet club commitments) and was not there to receive it. LEO Chairman Andrew presented Tamara with the pin on his behalf.

The Leo Club will meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month at 7:00pm at the Lions Club of New Norfolk Rooms, Willow Court.
