Benefits Of Becoming A Leo

Recently, someone asked me 'What are the BENEFITS of joining Leo club?' , 'Will I get a certificate for building my resume?' and 'How much would I get to party?'


These questions forced me to think what is the actual meaning of Leoism! Is it to party all year ? Is it only for a certificate ?
NO!
It is much much more that that!
I've been a part of this club only since a year but the journey has been incredible!
LEO stands for Leadership,Experience & Opportunity! Here, I have been given an opportunity to lead service projects and gain experience not once but twice.
The best experience I had was during the one of the service projects wherein we had visited children who were victims of drug addiction !! From listening to their stories to hear them speak about their ambitions,it was amazing! I felt really proud of being a part of such a club which aided that organization who helped those kids recover and educated them! This was only one of the numerous service projects Leo club of Juhu has had!
The things that I have learnt cannot be expressed!
THAT'S THE BENEFIT!

You get to meet new people! You make a lot of friends! You don't realise but you start picking up all good traits from so many amazing people out here which in turn develops you as an individual!
THAT'S THE BENEFIT!

You might have always wanted to help to the underprivileged people but you don't know where to start or maybe due to other reasons you are not able to! Well, this is one such medium where you help those underprivileged people and discover Raw happiness when you see them Smile!
THAT'S THE BENEFIT!

Apart from service projects,there are many fellowship meetings! They might be outbound trips too! A person having a hectic schedule knows the importance of going out , even if its for dinner! Leo club gives you that chance to enjoy yourself & have fun because majority of meetings are held in the weekends! You might think this is the best way to party at a low cost! However, here we have fellowship & not partying! Here's the important thing one needs to understand! It's never been about partying! Its always been fellowship!
Fellowship is a friendly meet where people of a common interest get together and enjoy! The tagline says it all 'UNIFYING PEOPLE , TRANSFORMING LIVES'

Every thing has benefits!
It solely depends on how you see it!
You get to serve the society which has given you so much
THAT'S THE BENEFIT!


So,for all the people who wish to join Leo club just for chilling out or for a certificate to decorate your CV , my suggestion would be Please donot join because by doing so, you are killing the essence of the club which is primarily SERVICE & FELLOWSHIP !
And if you want a detailed guide to Leoism, make sure you read my friend Leo Ruchir Shah's post about Leoism! Noone else could have written better about Leo club than him!


I would like to end by saying that I'm proud to be Leo! Are you?
