The group of Lions and Leos were also given an opportunity during a”Rap” session to review challenges and share best practices so that club administration could be strengthened.  A number of workshops ranging from Leadership and Membership Development to Marketing Strategies were organized.  The highlight of the Meeting was the District Forum where  attendees were placed in groups to  bring out challenges and come up with solutions which would be used to guide the operations of the clubs.

In addition to the formal part of the meeting the District Governor was able to pay courtesy calls on the Deputy Governor General, the Honourable Prime Minister and the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports.  

 He was able to solicit support from them for the Lions Quest programs which teaches young people skills necessary for everyday success.  These skills include:

•       Learning to accept responsibility

• Communicating effectively

• Setting goals

• Making healthy decisions

• Resisting pressure to use alcohol and drugs

 It is hoped that a comprehensive programme will be prepared and that it can be piloted in Vieux Fort.
