    The first adventure was a visit by Penn College President Michael J. Reed, who wanted to see firsthand what the children and their families create and learn every day at the CLC.

    Beaver and Burke accept the children's handcrafted wishes on behalf of Penn College veterans (themselves unassumingly included)."It was great to inform him about the wonderful benefit that the center allows for our student families, as well as for faculty, staff and alumni," said Linda A. Reichert, the center's director (who also provided the photos). "The children welcomed him with open arms, as they are all accustomed to having regular visitors and students in the center as a lab for adult learners."

    The youngsters later ventured out to visit Veteran & Military Services in the Davie Jane Gilmour Center to show appreciation for all that servicemen and women do to keep America safe. The children presented Chet Beaver, coordinator, and Katie C. Burke, veteran services specialist, with a huge heart featuring all of their painted handprints, as well as individual patriotic "Thank you" cards.
