Students in Free Enterprise Speak

Janette's daughter is in a club at Western that is promoting entrepreneurship and participation in free enterprise. Four of those students came with their instructor, Krist Schell, and gave us an introduction to some of the programs they have been involved in. From left are Ron Ryne, Shannon Kleis, Lauren Kervlis, and John Lamon on the right.
Cheryl Kirby-Stokes stood up to tell us what an asset John Lamon had been on their trip to Kenya last summer. Cheryl and her husband Mike Stokes purchase exquisite hand crafted baskets from village cooperatives. They bring back as many as they can to sell here in the states so that seed money can go back to the villages. Cheryl said that John's talents and personality aided greatly in their endeavors.
A great group of students and a great program. Thank you Janette for inviting them.
