LEO Clubs in Hungary
2008. december 26. péntek, 23:30
LEO Club is a youth organization of Lions Clubs International, which in its own existence seeks to serve people in need with special emphasis and focus on children, and while different clubs around the world dedicate their efforts to diverse underprivileged segments and developmental aspects, each and every club shares the same vision and passion to service.

leo50Though LEO Club Members, who are called LEOs, come from a substantially sundry background, they adamantly share universal bylaws and follow similar meeting, fundraising, and project leading patterns. Politics and Religion, while extensively accepted and respected, are exempted from LEO Clubs worldwide, as members are drawn together without perception to one's origin, religion or personal beliefs.

In Hungary there are eight LEO clubs which focus on children in need. Each club has a special target group (mentally handicapped children, blind children, orphan children, etc.). The members organize programs for these children and also try to support their institute with special goods. However, the clubs organize different activities as well: charity football cup, concerts, parties, etc. The profit of these events are spent for actual charity programs.

The LEOs in Hungary meet two times a year. These meetings (called National Conventions) are about our activity and also about some unofficial events like team-building games, sight-seeings or parties. The LEOs in Hungary live an active and intensive social life which makes the mutual work more enjoyable.
