LEO National activity

The LEO National Activity (LENA) is an event that brings together LEOs from all over Multiple District 102 for a day of fun, networking, and making a positive impact on our community.

LENA is not just any ordinary social activity, it's an opportunity for members to meet and connect with like-minded individuals from other clubs, share experiences and ideas, and work together towards a common goal. We do not strive to make LENA bigger and better than the previous year, but rather fill it with exciting new activities that cater to our members' interests and passions.

LENA is a platform for members to make meaningful contributions to society while having fun and forging lifelong friendships. The activities we engage in are carefully curated to have a positive impact on the community and the environment. Our aim is to inspire and encourage members to become change-makers in their respective communities, and LENA is just the beginning.

So, if you are a LEO in Multiple District 102, we invite you to be a part of this incredible annual event. Join us for a day filled with excitement, learning, and networking. Together, let's create a brighter future for ourselves and the world around us.

Grocery shopping for high risk individuals during Covid-19

Due to the restrictions imposed by FOPH, organizing events was not possible. In response, every LEO Club took the initiative to assist those in need by volunteering to do grocery shopping 2-3 times a week using the AMIGOS app. This allowed us to support people who were unable to do their own shopping during these challenging times.

Benefit concert and dinner

The LEO and Lions members spent an evening together at the 5e étage in Berne, featuring a benefit concert, dinner, and drinks. LEO members dressed in Christmas outfits took charge of the food and beverage preparation for the event, serving the Lions and other guests. The event was a success, with CHF 2'500 being collected for Peruvian children with disabilities. Overall, it was a great night of collaboration and support for a worthy cause.

Foxtrail with disadvantaged kids

This event was organised to give disadvantaged children in Zurich an opportunity to participate in a fun and challenging activity. The children were taken on a Foxtrail throughout the city and worked together to solve puzzles and complete challenges. After the activity, a pasta dinner was provided to the children to refuel and socialise with their peers. Overall, it was a great day filled with teamwork, adventure, and delicious food.

White Cane Day

On October 15th, the Federal Palace was presented as a haptic model (perception through touch, tactile grasp) for the first time on the Bundesplatz to commemorate the Day of the White Cane. Leos and Lions joined forces to support the Swiss Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (SBV-FSA) by guiding visually impaired individuals throughout the city and during various activities.
