: Decorah's "Get-2-Gether" program is a finalist in a Midwest contest

A recent G2G event

"Get-2-Gether" has been named as a finalist in Grinnell Mutual Reinsurance Company's "Working Together, Making It Better" competition.

G2G events provide activities for people with special needs to engage with their peers, Luther College students and other adults in the community.  The program is offered at no charge for participants.  Grant money will be used to purchase materials for games, entertainment, food and prizes for G2G events  The benefits to the community extend beyond G2G events, as the relationships result in greater understanding and support among all groups involved.

"Working Together, Making It Better" recognizes the efforts of people across rural communities in six Midwestern states who are working to enhance their town facilities and landmarks, support their neighbors and educate their children. These grants are Grinnell Mutual's way of celebrating community collaboration and recognizing innovative community projects.

Voting is now open at Grinnell Mutual's Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/myGrinnellMutual. Voting ends Wednesday, November 18, at 2:00 p.m. 

The three finalists with the most votes will receive $2,000, $1,000, and $500, respectively. The winners will be announced on November 18th.
