WHAT WE DO

With the proud sponsorship of PharmaChoice Pharmacies of Atlantic Canada, Lions International Members of Multiple District 41(Eastern Canada and Maine), web site design and development by Dibblee Consulting and web site hosting by Triware, our program is delivered to schools and centers throughout the country. Designed as a one man presentation, Norm and Fred help kids deal with problems by making informed choices. The program is delivered to up to 1500 people and relates the true life experiences of presenter Boyd Merrill. It is his ability to relate to kids that has earned him the applause and respect of thousands of viewers.

Norm And Fred -Think About Drugs originated in Newfoundland nine years ago. Initially the audience consisted of fifty people. Over time our groups have grown to fill school gyms, arenas and theaters. An audience now sees four characters who relate their experiences within the drug world. Their primary goal is to make kids think about their decisions. To achieve this, the presentation ends in tragedy. It shocks the audience into realizing where their choices can lead them.

Each of the characters represents an actual experience therefore the show reflects an honesty the kids respect. The message is strong, paralyzing and it gets results. In fact most performances end in an outpouring of emotion from the audience.

We promote Lions Quest programming. Lions Quest offers many valuable tools and programs which teachers implement directly into a daily school curriculum. They teach the value of healthy choices by concentrating on developing skills necessary for youth.
