Cadets were welcomed by KLA President Jeff Fawcett, and the morning was facilitated by moderator Allyn Decker. A history of KLA was given by advisor Nathan Conley.
Following the introductory session, the cadets walked to MudLOVE for a tour. MudLOVE is focused on giving back, as the purchase of one product provides clean drinking water for one week for someone in the Central African Republic, according to a press release from KLA.
The cadets then boarded a Grace College bus to continue the tour of Kosciusko County. The first stop was the Warsaw Airport, where the cadets learned that approximately $860 million is generated in the community of Warsaw as a direct result of the airport, according to a 2012 economic impact study. Other tour stops included Precision Medical Technologies, lunch on the Dixie Boat, Polywood and Maple Leaf Farms. The stops on the county tour provided an opportunity for cadets to learn about various industries and companies operating in Kosciusko County, the release states.
The next KLA session will be Sept. 13 at the Wawasee Area Conservancy Foundation, Syracuse, where cadets will learn about protecting water resources.
KLA is a not-for-profit organization devoted to serving Kosciusko County by encouraging leaders and future leaders to dream and create a better community through white paper projects, the release states.
