On the 3rd of November, our club participated in a school club’s competition held in school. It was a day that all clubs will compete in either two sections: fund-raising or promoting. For the fund-raising competition, clubs will have to raise as much funds to win a prize of RM500. Judgments were not only on the money but also attracting skills and teamwork. As for the promoting side, clubs will be given space to promote and introduce their respective clubs. Judging will be also given in promoting skills and materials.
During our general membership meeting, all the Leos wanted to join both competitions as we could promote our club and increase membership growth the following year, and raise funds to hold bigger, successful projects the following year. The Organizing Chairperson for the event was Leo President Ang Wee Cheng with the help of a few leaders. We planned for a few weeks to have everything settled. Furthermore, we split the jobs also so everything will be organized when the day comes. For the promoting section, we decided to display photos and introduce our club’s history. We also display the James Bond trailer as our club will be selling the tickets as our Major Fund-raising Project. For the fund-raising competition, we decided to sell tauhu hua, gui ling gau and ice-cream. We located our sources for the items and got everything ready for the day itself.
On that day, all Leos came early to set up their stalls/sections. As the judging began, Leos direct the judges’ way around our promoting ground as Leo Ang Wee Cheng promoted and explained about Leo Club. He also orientated when there were outsiders or students who were interested in knowing Leo Club. Leo Ang Wee Cheng also asked Leo Aaron to dress up as a clown (he works for an Entertaining Company) and attract people to our promoting ground. Also, he sold balloons and gained some profit from there for the club.
As for the sales, all the items were sold. Leos were able to persuade pass-byes to buy their goods. It was indeed a success.

Although our club rose the most funds (approximated RM700), we still didn’t win. However, it was indeed a great experience for all the members as they had chance to organize events such as this. Our club also gave the school 10 percent of our profit for the poor students and disabled students. Approximately 150 students had benefited from this event.
