The Delview Leos Club is a youth-run service organization based in Delta, British Columbia.[1] The club is a youth branch of Lions International, a global organization with 1.4 million members worldwide.[2] This club joins other Leo Clubs around the world in building youth up following their core values: Leadership, Experience, and Opportunity through service.[3]

History[edit]

The Delview Leos Club was created in September 2022, by Immediate Past President Kookie Sethi in partnership with Jay Sethi, the Leo Advisor and member of the Surrey Central Lions Club.[4] The first events from this club were the community pancake fundraisers & stuff the sleigh toy drive[5], charity gift wrapping, tree chipping, the Recycle for Sight program, and mushroom manure fundraisers in the first 6 months.

On May 24th, 2023, the Delview Leos Club was officiated in a charter ceremony with dignitaries and Lions International officials giving speeches. At this time, the club had 12 members and continued to grow over the next year.[6]

Fundraising[edit]

Over the last two years, the club has been able to help raise over $2000 to put towards international aid. In recent years, the club donated towards disaster relief funds for the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, helped raise funds going towards children's mental health in partnership with the South Fraser Cyber Lions[33][34], and hosted bake sales and fundraisers to raise money for Asian Together[35][36], an organization specializing in supporting Asian communities by advocating for the support of mental health.[37] They have also raised money through their help in running events through the Surrey Central Lions, with money going to charitable programs and funding for international programs.[38]
