An incoming freshman at Kaskaskia College didn’t forget an offer for a free lunch offered five years earlier by Kaskaskia College President George Evans.
The offer came when Evans made a presentation on Work Ethics to a group of junior high students in 2017. During the presentation, he asked the students to start thinking about where they were going to college, with the promise that if they chose KC, they could bring back the distributed flyer as a KC freshman for free lunch during their first week on him.
Jessica Wescher, who was inspired to think about her future education plans, made a note on her flyer with the presentation date to bring back the brochure to President Evans on the first day of school. She stopped by the President’s office on the first day of class with friend Gracee Mejorada to remind Evans of his promise.
Evans noted what a disciplined young woman, adding he couldn’t match his socks in 7th grade. Evans honored his five year old promise to her and her friend to buy lunch, calling it the best money he had ever spent.
