Charter Night 16 Nov 2008

Our Charter Night was held at the NUSS Guild House at Kent Ridge on 16 Nov 2008. Here are pictures of the activities in preparation for the event. And we know who was the boss. No, not the one with folded arms. The one in orange with hand raised.

The ending of our Charter Night

The night came to an end after Ben Koh's magical light performance and a round of karaoke. PDG Charlie Chan was on stage to sing for us before MP Josephine Teo waved her goodbye.

LCS Zenith would also like to say a big thank you to Profiters International Pte Ltd for sponsoring wines for the evening as well as all the Lions, friends and well wishers. And of course MP Josephine Teo for sharing her time with us and gracing the occasion as our Guest of Honour.

Free Health Screening at Yishun

7 Lions from Zenith descended onto Yishun to help out in a joint free health screening with Cheng Hung Chinese Physician Association. More than 20 physicians were on hand to screen the health of the residents as well as offering them free medical consultation. The project involved several other clubs and DG Bobby Eng and his Cabinet Members were also in attendance to see through the organisation of the project.

And we serve

Our lions were there serving attentively to the residents. It was a heart warming experience to be able to something for them and share with them a little tenderness and kindness.

To Serve at the Home

After sharing some refreshments and food with the residents of the homes, we share some joy and light moments with them as well. And our lions were dancing, roaring and prancing everywhere.

First project at Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society Home

Our first project was at Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society Home at Telok Blangah where we served, entertained, sang and danced with the residents.

All set to roar.

After the meeting all were satisfied with the new mission they were going to embark. And a group photo with the two guiding lions. Front row, Roseline Ter, Lion Leslie Yong, DG Henry Tan, President of LCS Zenit designate Teh Kah Him and PDG Charlie Chan.

We had our first meeting with the guiding lions at the Hans Cafeteria in Pickering Street on the evening of 25 Jul 08 .

Where it all started

The first meeting was held at the Lions Home of the Elders at Toa Payoh on 22 Aug 2008. The main issues was the formation of the Club and selection of club logo.
