Thank you to everyone who answered our question, “What can we do together to make a positive change for Rush County?”! Your input was inspiring and thought-provoking. (Read a summary of answers.) Your commitment to our community is what makes it even better.

So, what’s next? Now it’s time to look at all the feedback, integrate it with local data and make some plans – the Launch phase. We need 30-40 committed people to learn basic community development strategies, get to work identifying projects and then take the lead on designing action plans. If this sounds like something you want to be a part of, please reach out to us – info@rushcountyfoundation.org or (765)938-1177.

A two-day Community Based Action Planning (CBAP) Session will take place on Thursday, September 30th, 8:00am – 4:45pm and Friday, October 1s, 8:00am – 2:30pm at the Root Building at the Rush County Fairgrounds. Please plan to arrive 7:30-7:45am. Lunch will be provided.

With $100,000 from Lilly Endowment Inc. and guidance from Ball State, we need YOU to launch these ideas. It’s time to get them off paper and into real life!
