PRESIDENT JAN introduced JoAnn Vorst, director of LARA (Lafayette Adult Resources Academy), who thanked us for participating in the CAPE Grant project to provide a safe place for infants while their parents learn. She gave us the history of her 30 year old organization and gave credit to the YWCA, the Lafayette School Corporation and United Way for helping LARA succeed. JoAnn brought LaVeta Franze with her to assist and to tell her story. She is a graduate of LARA who has gone on to Ivy Tech to continue her education.
