District 19-I Lions Quest BC Report PDG Norma Bent-Chair 19-I Cabinet Meeting December 2, 2023 by Zoom Good Morning Cabinet Members: Just want to update what and why Lions Quest is so important to our Children of today. Why Lions Quest Canada? Lions Quest Canada is not just an organization; it's a catalyst for positive transformation. Our programs are designed to equip young people with essential life skills, fostering resilience, leadership, and a sense of community. By investing in Lions Quest Canada, you're investing in the future of our nation, helping to shape a generation of empowered, compassionate, and capable individuals. The Impact of your Donation Every dollar you contribute goes directly towards implementing our evidence-based programs in schools and communities, training dedicated educators and others, and reaching more young minds. Your support will: 1. Empower Youth: Provide young people with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges, make positive choices, and build meaningful relationships. 2. Promote Mental Health: Foster a supportive and inclusive school environment, addressing the mental health needs of young people and promoting well-being. 3. Build Strong Communities: Strengthen the fabric of communities by nurturing a generation of socially responsible, empathetic individuals who contribute positively to society. It takes a village - you are a villager! In District 19-I, plans are in the works to bring Joanne out to our conference in April 2024. I did a presentation at 19-I-12 Zone meeting and from that I will be working toward setting up Workshops in School District #73, for the Logan Lake and Ashcroft Areas. These might even be in person ones in April when Joanne is here. Remember your District still has funding for workshops and any upgrading of materials for those who have taken the workshop and now need a different grade level. Respectively Submitted Norma J. Bent
