Laugh, Give, Serve Through the Holidays

Join Hosts Amy Lyle and Gina Edwards Ryals as they interview President, CEO, Joni Smith along with Retired Teacher, Standup Comedian, Lori Evans
Joni was born and raised in Central Florida. She received her BS degree from Florida State University in Tallahassee and her MBA from Stetson University in Deland, Florida. She has 5 children, ages 22-37, and one grandson.
After a rewarding career as an elementary school teacher, Lori graduated from the classroom to the stage. Stand-up was a natural progression for her, as she realized that performing at a comedy club is not that different from standing in front of a room full of six-year-olds. She has taken 31 years of hilarious interactions with kids that made her “head explode” and is now making audiences explode with laughter.
