These pictures tell a thousand word. A fantastic event with support of all lion members that make this event the most memorable one. Those who miss the Banquet Dinner will surely regret as everyone had a nice dinner, fantastic show, pretty girls every where and most important of all we have raised more than we ever dream.. a net surplus of more than RM310,000 GOES TO LIONS KIDNEY DIALYSIS CENTRE.
Another fabulous good news is that immediately after the dinner, one company donate 10 machines amounted to RM420,000 and the proceeds was banked into our account on 27 November 2008. Well done, Lion Lee Kean Teong for making the effort to secure this machine donor. We shall making the Press Announcement at a later date.
Our funding for Dialysis centre are now been met and we have to thank our ever hard working Committee Chairman, Lion Peter Chung for making this centre a Dream come truth for our Club and all lion members. We target to have the opening of the Centre somewhere mid 2009.
This year our Club have embarked on an ambitious project i.e Lions Kidney Dialysis Centre. Our aim is to have the centre open during the celebration of our club 45th Anniversary i.e on 10th January 2009. Therefore, we have barely 117 days or 3.9 months to the dateline.
Lions Kidney Dialysis Centre
We have started this fund raising program 3 years ago to set up a Lions Kidney Dialysis Centre in Penang. Our target is to raise RM800,000. This project will be undertaken in partnership with the National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia (NKFM) Once the centre is set up, NKFM will provide the expertise to operate it. We have on 26th July 2008 signed a MOU with NKFM. Currently NKFM operates 20 dialysis centres around Malaysia.
Fund Raising Activities
Todate we have together with region lions clubs carried out the following projects to raise the needed fund for the centre:-
(i)During the year, NKF with the help of Lions Club of PJ Metro have raised RM102,852.67 from a Charity Dinner during the Miss Queen 2008 Selangor Final.
(ii)LC Georgetown Perdana have organized the “Gift of Love” Mooncakes in which the proceeds from the sale approximately RM45K will be donated to the Centre.
(iii)Our club have organised the Miss Queen 2006 & 2007 and have raised RM53K from the National Final.
(iv)Our recent Golfathon 2008 have raised approximately RM30K for the Centre.
Total fund raised todate for the Centre about RM230K which should be enough to kick start the centre. Based on feedback from members and donors, we have 11 machines in hand @ RM42K totaling RM462K. Therefore, we are still short of RM108K to make up the RM800K for the centre.
