WOW! The America's Promise 100 Best Communities Forum was GREAT! The Indiana Delegation (4 adults, 6 youth) spent 3 days in Washington D.C. learning more about the 5 promises and the National Action Strategies. We also did some pre-forum site seeing and enjoyed the JOURNEY ACROSS AMERICA Celebration at Union Station.
