Citizenship Washington Focus 2016

Williamsburg, Virginia to National 4-H Conference Center

We left Williamsburg at 8:20 AM and headed to Yorktown where we had an amazing time. Everyone decided that we enjoyed it more than Jamestown. Yorktown was settled in 1682 and was the site of the surrender of General Cornwallis to General George Washington and the French on October 19, 1781. After all that, we had a long drive up to Washington, D.C. where we arrived at the National 4-H Conference Center. There were so many new people here that we were a little overwhelmed. We decided on and met with committees and made tons of new friends! we got to interact with a lot of people from other states and trade stock with them. We all had loads of fun and learned a lot. We can't wait for what comes next!

**Chaperones Commentary**
A very important comment was made by one of the actors during our experience at Yorktown. After speaking with and interacting with all 32 of our delegates, she had a few short but powerful comments. To paraphrase the employee, "You are lucky chaperones to be working with such a great group of young adults. I've have seen a more intelligent, appreciated and well behaved group of this size in a very long time." All four of us are very proud of this group of young men and women that have allowed us to spend this time with them. The week has just begun but we are excited to see what these powerful delegates have to offer this program. Stay Tuned!
