At the request of Larry Costin and Rich Linting, I attended an interesting presentation at the Chicago Club (where I had to wear a jacket of all things)about the work of the MIND Institute which is expanding its work with schools in Chicago after some really impressive successes at a couple of schools here.
Rich Linting opened the presentation with some comments about the school (Huff Elementary) that he, his wife Ginny and his family were supporting in Chicago.
Ted Smith, Chairman of the MIND Institute, then presented an overview of the national success story of the various programs in math and music for K-5 students.
Based on GiGi - the official mascot of the program - each of the classes at Huff Elementary made Thank You GiGis for their visitors and sponsors.
The program concluded with comments and additional presentations from Garrett Seaman who is the Technology Director at the Huff school and John Sawyer who is a senior MIND Institute Account Executive.
