Langley Leo Club Pledges to Serve

On January 29, 2010, the Langley Leo Club, which seeks to serve the people and focus on the under-privileged, was created. The highly anticipated night held at the West Langley Hall featured the induction of a group of passionate youth dedicated to serving the community.

Comprised of 50 members, all members are currently students at R.E. Mountain Secondary School. While it may seem like a school-based group, the club has no desire to restrict its members to only people from that particular secondary school.

In association with Lions Clubs International, the Langley Leo Club is now one of the many 5,700 Leo clubs in 140 countries.

Focusing on issues regarding local and international communities, the Langley Leo Club raised over $13,000 for the Christmas Bureau through their kettle drives and have planned future events including making lunch for the people of Gateway of Hope (a new-based homeless shelter in Langley), as well as possibly sponsoring a child in Africa.

Langley Leo Club president Yoon Won Son gave a moving speech, saying, “Truly I believe that the most significant life one can lead is to influence goodness [in] others.”

To become a member of the Leo Club means to ally with those who take action in order to comfort those in need.
