Legacy of Excellence Education

Changes Lives and Launches CareersIncluding Lake Area Technical Institute in your estate will enable dreams to be accomplished far beyond your expectations.

Your gift will strengthen the future of Lake Area Technical Institute making schol-arships possible and enabling needed investments in technology and campus improvements to be made.

Legacy of Excellence gifts can endow a named fund that provides annual sup-port from the interest earned on the money in the fund.

Legacy of Excellence gifts are acknowledged on the donor wall in the Student Center at Lake Area Tech with a special plaque.

For information, contact the LATI Foundation Office 605-882-5284 Ext: 292.

Janice Warne passed away in May, 2016 but will forever be remembered for her generosity to the Lake area Tech Foundation’s Legacy of Excellence Society through a planned gift in her estate.

Janice was born at home in Bryant, SD on the fami-ly farm. She moved to the Hayti area and attended Opdahl Country School from first through seventh grades and then after consolidation, finished in Hayti. Janice moved back to the Bryant area where she attended high school. After graduation she moved to Minneapolis, MN, where she attended secretarial school for 4-6 months, the schooling a gift she received from her aunt and uncle.

Janice chose to name Lake Area Technical Institute Foundation in her estate because of the school’s reputation, and because she believed education is so important.

When asked about how she was able to provide this fund for students at Lake Area Technical Institute, she replied, “The one thing I did, was to learn as much as I could at each position I held at my jobs and I worked my way up through the system. I was conservative with my earnings and now I can help someone with their education.”
