Extract from the “Lion” February – March 2006
National PR Chairman David Savage talks candidly with International 1st Vice President Jimmy Ross at the 201 C2 District Convention in Mount Gambier

 

DAVID: Do you have any pet projects?

JIMMY: Oh I think the Lions Quest^. is probably one of my pet projects. The Lions Quest program is the skills for adolescents – it's a project that goes right into the school system. It's a curriculum that the teachers are able to use to instruct the young people on how to stay off the drugs, fight peer pressure, and I think it's one of our outstanding projects and I am going to be, as president, seeking funding for this project all over the world. I would like to see the Lions Quest curriculum in every school in the world because we as Lions must see that the young people coming up have a better chance than we possibly had. Today we have so many diversions for young people, so much peer pressure, and if we can do anything to make it easier for them to become successful in all phases and facets of their life that's what I want us to do – and that's what the Lions Quest program is able to do.
