It was in 1997 that most of us had our first taste
of Lionism. We were chartered as the Vancouver Cathay Leo Club by
our sponsors - Vancouver Cathay Lions Club. We started out as young
and ambitious high school graduates with limited experience and life
skills.
Through the Leo Club, we were given many opportunities
to explore and develop various leadership and team skills. Not only
did we gain valuable experiences, but also we gained a close-knit
extended family in Leoism (Lionism) full of fun and fellowship.
After seven years as a Leo Club, our club grew
and matured, and we found ourselves stepping towards a new path -
the exciting and challenging move to become Lions! We are very grateful
to our sponsoring Lions Club for all the years of guidance and support
they have given us. On June 10th, 2005, we were chartered as the
Vancouver Cathay New Century Lions Club. And now begin our new journey
in Lionism!
