Congratulations! To the following individuals for successfully completing the Core Four Business Planning Course:  Elmer Lumpkin, Gloria Scabby Face, Ben Scabby Face, Mary Jane Running Shield, Jamie Lee, Craig Howe, Carmel Old Horse, Clifford Whiting, Louis Twiss, Terry Holiday and Vina Holiday.  “The class was good, but I felt that we needed more time, especially in marketing.  Internet marketing is a growing industry and in order to keep up I would have liked to have more instruction in the area.  I guess I can go to the Wawokiye Business Institute for this assistance.  I also would like to add in taking the Core Four course you need to do your home wok and be diligent about it.”Said Clifford Whiting of Wanblee, South Dakota.
