Joe and the Kids

Mickey was invited to talk to the Discovery students at Lakeshore
Elementary school. The 40 students ranged from second to fifth grade
and kept Joe on his toes with questions about how they could help
the Tibetan people. Students were also busy checking the "Made-in"
labels in their shoes and giving consideration to future purchase
of the label. He provided the students with brochures for several
organizations that support Tibet. The Discovery students are taught
by Nannie Lewis. The talk and slide show was arranged by Leia Lewis
who handles the community outreach program for The Meadows Museum.
