History |
| The Lions
Club of Kuala Pilah obtained its CHARTER from The International Association of Lions
Clubs on

Lions Club of Segamat & then District Governor Yeap Cheng Chuan helped obtain
the Charter for our Club and install the first BOD. A group of service
minded members from our town grouped together to form the Lions Club of Kuala Pilah under Charter President Lion Lee Khong Kian. The following are the

The members of the Lions Club of Kuala Pilah since then,
have been very active in social work in the District of Kuala Pilah, helping the
poor and needy, old and young. We are not a Charity Club, but a Social Club. We
do and organize projects and activities to raise funds to help those in need.
|
|
|
Our most outstanding project to date which has been
recognized by the Kementerian Kebajikan Masyarakat (Welfare Ministry) was in
1994 where we refurbished the Handicapped Children’s Center with new desks and
chairs specially made for handicapped children. The Government recognized and
appreciated our social work by rewarding us with a certificate and a cash
donation of RM5000.00 through the then Welfare Minister, Dato’ Napsiah Omar.
Since then we have also received another grant of RM2500.00 from Dato’ Napsiah
Omar for another major project, the Lions Bus Stop Shelter in front of the Kuala
Pilah Hospital. Presently the Lions Club of Kuala Pilah is rebuilding the Lions
Park, a children’s playground near the Rest House, Kuala Pilah.
|
|
|
In the year 1990, the Lioness Club was formed in Kuala Pilah, sponsored by the Lions
Club of Kuala Pilah. This dedicated group of
Ladies has done the Lions Club proud and showed the true spirit of Lionism in
organizing major projects and activities. To complete the family, the Alpha Leo
Club of Chung Hua was formed in 1994 and the Omega Leo Club in 1996. These young
LEOS are learning hard and fast and will be excellent social workers in future.
|
|
|
For the Fiscal Year 2003/2004 our
Club endorsed our very
active club member & cabinet officer Lion Navin Khandhar to vie for the post of Vice
District Governor, he has been a very
dedicated Lion from the day he joined our Club in 1992, he was the secretary the
following year and was elected president for the Fiscal Year 96/97. His year as
the president earned him the Outstanding President Award from the District and
International 100% President’s Award from Lions Club International. He was also
Awarded the Melvin Jones Fellowship, since then Lion Navin has
served the Club and District with the same dedication and commitment. |
