Birth of Leo Club of Singapore Raffles City
Our sponsoring Lions Club - Lions Club of Singapore Raffles City, chartered on 15 June 1981 , has always been actively engaged in all Lions Clubs International's programs such as Club Extension, LEO, Youth Exchange, Camps and Twinning.
With a vision to promote community service and leadership to youths, Lions Club of Singapore Raffles City formed Leo Club of Ngee Ann Polytechnic (Alpha Leo Club) on 14 January 1984 . The Leo Club quickly built up its force with the support from both the school and Lions Club. However, upon graduation, the Leos would not be able to continue their membership with the club which is linked to the campus.
Over the years, Ngee Ann Polytechnic Leo graduates, other Leo graduates and young adults, had expressed interest in continuing their service to the society as Leo. With much enthusiasm and excitement, Leo Club of Singapore Raffles City was formed on 25 July 1993 and was led by Leo Helen Ang, the founding President. The club was formed to accommodate to like-minded young adults who wish to continue to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate in the society and to make a difference in their own life.
