Flea Market Fund-Raising Reflections - August '12

On 19th August 2012, the Leo Club of Singapore Metropolitan held a Flea market fund-raising event at Holland Village. Our Leos had collected numerous bags of clothing and other secondhand items from generous donors in preparation for the event. All proceeds from the sale of these donated items would contribute to the funding of our club's future service projects.

Metropolitan Lions & Leos!
The event began bright and early with our booth being set-up, and by 11am our sale was up and running. The event was off to a good start, and our Leos on duty worked feverishly to engage and serve our customers customers. We were given a  morale booster, when our Lions from Lions Club of Singapore Metropolitan turned up in support of our event, with donations of their own belongings as well - some of which were branded items! 

Despite the sweltering heat, our team soldiered on, knowing that every cent earned would go a long way to help us better serve our beneficiaries in the future.
It was a heart-warming experience. Despite us working under a shelter, the weather was still extremely hot. However, even though we were tired and uncomfortable, we powered on, focusing our energies on making the customers comfortable and serving them as best as we could, guided by the common goal of having good sales for the day to allow us to do more for others in the future. This unity made me feel the Leo Spirit more than ever.

Everything has to go!
The event was a great success, and on behalf of Leo Club of Singapore Metropolitan, we would like to thank all our generous friends and donors who provided us with the numerous bags of secondhand items for our flea market, as well as to Lions Gillian, KC and Archie.
Last but not least, a big thank you to Leos Emilia, Esther, Shi Ting, Jannice, Tih Yong, Eric, Alfred and Tiong Hui for your hard work in helping to raise funds! Roar! :)
