2007 MD Leo Conference – Darling Harbour Convention
Centre.
A total of over 100 Leos
attended the 2007 MD Leo Conference held over five days at the Darling
Harbour Convention Centre in Sydney between the 16th – 20th
May.
The highlight of the conference was the final of the
MD Leo of the Year Quest, which was won by Leo Hannah Bellwood from the
Cathedral School Leo Club in Q2 representing Queensland. Leo Hannah wins a
trip around all Australian States in January 2008 with the current State
Finalists from the Youth of the Year Quest. Other Leo State Finalists were
Daniel Eiszele (Tasmania), Dale Sommerville (NSW), Amanda Rickman (WA) and
Tina Hosseini representing Victoria.
Those Leos attending the
Conference were accommodated at the Sydney Central YHA and besides attending
two half day conference sessions, were involved in the opening Flag
Ceremony, the march through Darling Harbour, a rooftop BBQ at the YHA and a
Manly Ferry harbour cruise. Some Leos also attended the 60th
Anniversary Annual Convention Ball at the Cockle Bay Reception Centre.
Due to the tyranny of
distance, there will be no Leo Conference next year at the Darwin Convention
however, the Leos voted to hold their next Leo Conference in Melbourne from
the 2nd May –5th May 2009 during the MD 201 Melbourne
Lions Convention.
