Home and Garden Bingo Update and a Shout Out for Junior Achievement

I spent some time at the Home and Garden Show today working booth duty at a volunteer organization.

I managed to play some Home and Garden Bingo. Here is an update.

Print out a form from my post yesterday and come out and play. I’m going to post photographs later. But I have to add show this one.

These young women were very nice and personable. They are seniors at Union High School and are members of a Junior Achievement Company along with several other students. They have formed a business that makes and sells the bows in front of them. In May they will liquidate the company and donate 80% of the proceeds to an non-profit company and 20% go to the stockholders who put up the money to get them started.

I am ashamed to admit that their names escape me but the woman on the left is going to major in Chemical Engineering (what a smart young person and with good manners, she actually acted interested when I told her that I was a chemical engineer). The other young lady has plans to be a Physicians Assistant (she is also smart as a whip). I’m telling you, those that fear for our country’s future have not met these young people. I was really sucking up to the one on the left. I figure I’ll working for her in about six to eight years.

    The business idea is great! What an original way to teach responsibilities and how “real life” works. I admire them… I can’t sell anything and I’m not very entrepreneurial… and I was even less in high school!
