elow are some of the thank you notes Leila has received
from Porter County seventh-graders.
hank you, Leila for your personal and professional representation
of Wagner Homes.
"First of all, I'd like to thank
you for coming out to the expo center. It was very generous of you to
take time out of your business hours to educate students like myself.
I thought your presentation was one of the most interesting and informative.
Also, I learned something new that day. I learned how to read a floor
plan. You've also helped me to open my eyes to a new career. Before I
came, I was thinking; "Why do I need to go there? I'm not going to work
in construction." Then, I realized that's not all about building things.
Again, thank you for coming. You've helped to open my eyes wider. "
- Sincerely, Jessica
"Dear Leila Buford,
I want to thank you for showing and teaching
me about your job. I had fun looking at a future home in Valparaiso. Your
session was the most fun for me while I was there. Once again, thank you
for being there to teach me something new."
Thank you,
Brittany

" Thank
you for making Future Fest 2002 a success. The great variety
of careers and interaction of presenters and students make this
a wonderful experience for 7th graders. The students and teachers
from Benjamin Franklin Middle School appreciate your commitment
and support.
"Thanks so much for telling and teaching me about what you do and how I could be a construction worker when I'm older. Your knowledge was incredible! It was very interesting and very fun. Thanks again."

"Thank you so
much for all the help and information you gave me at future
fest. I really enjoyed playing the game when we had to count
all the doors, sinks, and bedrooms. I think that it must be
pretty tough to make a blue sketch of a house that big and
luxurious." - Sincerely, Kelly
Dear Leila from Wagner Homes,
I want to thank you for all the time
and effort you put in to Future Fest. I had a great time playing
that guessing game.
Thanks a lot.
