The 13 Land of Lincoln CEO students, under the
direction of facilitator Britta Langley, helped with landscaping at
Logan County Sheriff’s Department, set up Christmas trees around the
Logan County Courthouse square for the Winter Wonderland Tree
Lighting and Small Business Saturday events, decorated the showroom
at Graue, Inc., and greeted veterans returning home from an Honor
Flight.
A LLCEO student hoists two Christmas trees to set up around the
Logan County Courthouse in preparation for the Winter Wonderland
tree lighting last weekend.
“I’m so very proud of these students,” Langley said.
“They have worked so very hard and did an amazing job.”
LLCEO students discuss the Holiday House of the Week
competition, the CEO class, and the upcoming group business on the
Cheap Seats radio show this weekend.

Lincoln Mayor and LLCEO mentor Seth Goodman has
partnered with the LLCEO class to select a decorated home in Lincoln
to receive a $100 gift card from a local business as the Holiday
House of the Week. The students discussed their involvement on Cheap
Seats this past weekend.
Being a part of the community they serve is an important element
of the LLCEO curriculum. Giving back and sharing the local entrepreneurial
spirit is key.
The students solicited local businesses to advertise on their badges they wear
for the year in the program and set a record in sales, thus completing their
first joint business as a class.
The students are planning their group “big” business to complete together as a
team, which creates the capital to launch their 13 individual businesses by May
2020.
Working through both the badge and big businesses build necessary teamwork
skills as well as time and financial management which will be crucial in their
individual businesses.
