ceremony for the initiation of new members. The presiding officer calls the meeting to
order with these words: ”We are about to begin the initiation ceremony which will welcome new members
to the...................Leo Club. This is a most important occasion for these members and for our club, and I
sincerely request the attention and silence of the membership during the ceremony. Please withhold any
applause or demonstrations until it is complete. I will now call the names of the new members and as I do, I
request that they rise and come forward.”

The presiding officer calls the names of the new members. When all the candidates are standing, the officer
says: “On behalf of the officers and members, I welcome you to the........................Leo Club.You have been
invited to become members, and we are all happy and proud of your decision to accept. Membership in a
Leo Club is a privilege. You are about to enter a program that extends throughout the world. It began in
1967 as an official activity of Lions Club International. Leo goals include high moral standards, personal
responsibility, an attitude of cheerfulness and understanding, and in addition, extending a helping hand to
those in need.

Now in your own community and with your own acquaintances, an entire series of challenges await. You are
not alone in your efforts. At all times, you can count on the encouragement and cooperation of your fellow
Leo club members, officers and the Leo Club Advisor. They will be happy to help you achieve the high goals
which you have adopted.

Once again, I express my congratulations to you for having joined this club. I now ask that you repeat after

me the obligation of membership: “I ( each one should state his/her name)..... In the presence of the

members of the Leo Club…. Take on this solemn obligation… to abide by the constitution and bylaws of the

That I will help the club….by actively serving on committees and other capacities…. Where my efforts are

needed…… and finally… that I will develop in myself…… those qualities…. Of cheerfulness, service and

loyalty… which should characterize Leo Club members… at all times.
