Leo Club of Kota Bharu Central was formed in 1981 sponsored by Lions Club of Kota Bharu. This Club located at Kota Bharu, in the state of Kelantan, the country of Malaysia. In January 1, 2006, Lions Club International recognized us as 25 years old club. We are celebrating our 30 years anniversary soon, in 2011.

We might be small, we might be slow, but all of us which to be somebody. We have a dream. We dream to CHANGE for the betterment of our community and country. Changes happen rapidly all over the world now day. We believe in the power of the young people in making change.
We are living a good life although there are many challenges out there. Leo Club provides us social support and also a place to relax after tired university classes or working. We laugh, we chat, we tell jokes, we eat, we play, and we have fun … LOL
As what Mahatma Gandhi said, Journey of million miles, begin with a single step. Mother Teresa ever said, if you can’t feed one hundred children, than feed one. What we are doing right here is beginning the first step to “feed” as many children as possible.

Elderly
In 20 years time, members of Generation X going to retire and enjoying their golden time as elderly after hard work for few century. We have the awareness that there is more member of Generation X than Generations Y who will be continuing the adult roles. Can a society function “normally” when there are more retired people (gen X) than working people (gen Y), this is a question to ponder. Our future activity will try to create awareness about this issue to the society, and also educate Generation X on how to coping with the retired life.
Research and Development
We also believe in expert opinion and professionalism. We will conduct scientific research on youth, social and also elderly to make sure the project that we organized is fully benefited to the community. We organized a project is not because we want to do, but is because there is a needs.
