Lincolnway UniServ Unit Hosts Annual "Friends of Education" Recognition Dinner

For just my second time in four years I was available to attend Lincolnway UniServ Unit's annual "Friends of Education" Dinner in Carroll last night. The weather was threatening with thundershowers, but inside the mood was festive!

The Lincolnway UniServ Unit Executive Board met for a short board meeting beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the Carrollton Inn prior to the Friend of Education Dinner.









Over 60 guests attended this annual Lincolnway event. We were entertained by a solo vocalist, Nick Andersen, of Lawton-Bronson followed by the Ogden High School Jazz Band, directed by Ogden EA member Jeff Robilliard. Wow, such talented young people led by great educators!

Before heading back to Des Moines, I had the chance to pose for a photo with our great Lincolnway Team ISEA staff. Pictured (from left to right) Lincolnway's great Administrative Assistant, Linda Sporrer; Peri Van Tassel, UniServ Director in both Lincolnway and Polk Suburban; myself; and Myron Halverson, Lincolnway UniServ Director. This is terrific team that work their hearts out for Team ISEA members in Lincolnway UniServ Unit. How lucky we are to have them on Team ISEA!
