"All Together Now" exemplifies the collaborative spirit of the three projects highlighted in Fort Wayne's
All-America
City
application. The theme is designed to create a framework for discussing how
Fort Wayne
is addressing its challenges and planning for its future. “This is a great time to market our city to potential businesses and show the tremendous amount of civic pride we have in our community. There is no better time than the present to highlight all the assets our city has to offer,” said Mayor Henry. “We have made it this far and now its full-steam ahead to bring home the 2009 All America City Award!”
In order to earn this prestigious designation, support is needed from citizens to support the delegation with travel scholarships and other costs associated with the travel. Numerous events have been scheduled at local restaurants and retailers holding “All-America” City events where a certain portion of their proceeds will go towards the fund. The Mayor’s office and the Fort Wayne TinCaps have partnered to hold an All America City – TinCaps Game Day on May 31st which will include a silent auction and post game free concert.
