The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard from several Christian County C-E-O students, during their weekly luncheon Tuesday at the club’s new meeting place, the Taylorville Moose Lodge.

C-E-O stands for “Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities”.  The program guides Christian County high school seniors that are enrolled in the program, through starting and running their own functioning business.  The program also cultivates essential skills and an expansive, long-lasting network of community members and business owners.  Enrolled students attend class each school day from 7:30 til 9 in the morning, at different non-school locations thru-out Christian County.

Those appearing and speaking about the program, the business tours they’ve done so far this year, and their upcoming November 2 Murder Mystery Theatre and Dinner, were Gabriel Jeffrey, Kennedy Mann, James Boettger, Joey Curvey, Emily Leers, Paris Bell, and Laine Moses.  Escorting the students to the Kiwanis Club meeting, was C-E-O facilitator Dick Adams.

Moses talked to the club about the business tours they're done so far this school year.

Jeffrey talked about preparing to start their own business as part of their class.

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at their new meeting location, the Taylorville Moose Lodge.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
