The Durham Board of Education received this award as a result of its excellent overall programming, which included strong support of Lions-Quest programs. The board of education competed for the award against educational systems in Hungary, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland and Switzerland. Each of the three Lions-Quest programs features activities known as ticklers. These exercises are learning experiences for the participants. Most ticklers are designed to be undertaken in a group situation.
Lions can attempt the following tickler at their next meeting.
Ask three Lions to sit at the front of the room. Give each Lion a small apple. To one Lion, provide a potato peeler. To the second Lion, provide a wooden spoon. To the third Lion, provide a blunt butter knife.
