10,000 steps walk and environmental project 9th Sept 12

Nine members participated in the 10,000 steps walk

Dance aerobic warm up before the walk. " Go, President, Go!"

Recycling (environmental) project resulting from the walk with the bottles and plastic bags
Nine members were amongst the 3,500 participants who took part in the 10,000 steps walk organised by Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia in conjunction with the country's 55th Merdeka celebration. This activity was held simultaneously throughout the whole Malaysia, hoping to get into the Malaysia Book of Records. President Jessie Ho, Secretary Irene Tan, VP Alice Kon and PP Datin Juriah Sulehan finished the walk. The other "punctured" Lions  hitched a ride back after finishing more than half of the seemingly long and endless 9 km walk.  With their conserved energy for not finishing the walk, they instead poured it into recycling the many plastic bottles at the  site. The group with their embedded Lions spirit helped  Matron Foo in sorting all the different plastic containers,ready for pick up by Tze Chi Association for resale. The fund will be used towards the cost for dialysis for the needy.

When the members arrived at the site this morning, we had little idea of what the day would turn out to be. At the close of the function, we did not only do something good for our own health but also help to conserve the environment through the recycling activity which in turn helped the needy dialysis patients. 3 in 1! Kuching City Boleh!!

Thank you to all the members who participated and made a meaningful project out of it:
President Jessie, IPP Vincent, Secretary Irene, 2VP Alice, PP Ivy Fong, PP Datin Juriah, Lion Kimmy, Lion Lilian and PP Sheila Kho.
