Hey Junior Leadership Hazleton Class of 2025–2026! Thanks for swinging by last week to learn about entrepreneurship. We're happy to hear that you all had just as much fun as we did.

Not to toot our own horns, but toot toot, beep beep. Here are just a few snippets from the testimonials you sent:

"It was a lot of fun working with the doctor At the launch box."
"I learned a lot about entrepreneurship."
"Had fun doing all the activities with the other members."
"The LaunchBox is a very neat building."
"They had even inspired to maybe start a business of my own."

And our all-time favorite:

"The only thing I didn't like as much was the sandwiches."

We'll work on getting better sandwiches next year. We're looking forward to it.
