UPDATE = JANUARY ONE-EIGHT TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT.


As you may have noticed, we've put up a TONNE of tour dates for the upcoming months. This ABSOLUTE MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING TOUR may stir your curiosity, so I am going to outline some things for everyone and hopefully answer some questions while I'm at it!
The Goodbye Celebration and ABSOLUTE Leadership Development Inc. are teaming up to bring some positive messages to many of the highschools across Canada! We will be a part of a multimedia performance that will be presented during assemblies throughout this school term. We will be performing and possibly even telling some stories. We will also be around to speak with any and all that would like to ask us questions, or just chat.
This ABSOLUTE MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKING TOUR gives us the chance to reach out to many teenagers throughout Canada, by doing this we are opening ourselves up to helping students in any way we can. This is a great cause and the people who we will be on the tour with us are very amazing and are there to help kids!!!
About ABSOLUTE:
Vision and Mission Statements:
"To empower emerging generations to change their world, by living their lives with purpose. ABSOLUTE exists to reach every possible high school student with the message of hope and that there is more than what they see in front of them. Through high school presentations, social justice opportunities and personal mentoring, we desire to instill the value and dignity of life in each individual we encounter."
Core Objectives
1. To reach every Canadian teenager with the message that they are capable of making healthy choices and living purposeful lives.
2. To offer every teen a sense of global perspective and an opportunity to develop a heart for social justice.
3. To provide peer counseling and a listening ear through our chat line.
4. To mentor young adults to be leaders in a changing world.
5. To help enable educational, business, and social institutions to work together to address global poverty.
We want to reach out to as many kids as possible through this tour, this means you! So, if you see your school on our list: awesome! But if not, don't fret, you have the power to bring us to your school. The full tour is not yet booked, and there are plenty of open spaces that you can help us book. Get a group of friends together and speak to your student council//principal//whomever else might book events//assemblies and tell them about ABSOLUTE! Stress how much of a great cause it is and make sure they get into contact with someone at ABSOLUTE and they'll take it from there. Hopefully you'll help us get into your school to perform and have a good time!
If you want to know more about this tour or get involved, please visit http://www.absolute.org for more information.
I hope I didn't ramble on too much, and I hope I answered some of your questions you might have :)
Love, David and the rest of the boyyyyyys
ps. We'll have a lot more information soon, and as soon as we get it, we'll update our myspace page. So, please keep checking back!
