The Indiana Humanities Council needs your help in identifying the best of the best. Nominations are being sought for the annual Governor’s Award for Tomorrow’s Leaders, which honors community, academic and entrepreneurial leaders (ages 19-29) who are making a difference in their communities.
Read the nomination requirements and nominate your colleague or friend today (or at least by June 2)! The prestigious statewide honor comes with a $1,000 award that can be used as an educational scholarship or donated to the recipient’s charity of choice.
The Council has a goal of receiving at least one nomination from each County. Let’s make sure Delaware County is not left out.

Why? Because we’re moving this Friday’s event to the White River Landing! We’ll be on the patio if weather permits, and if not, we’ll be “flexible” and will stay in the cool, dry indoors. Don’t worry . . . we’ll go to Amazing Joe’s soon . . . they’re building a great outdoor deck that will be perfect for an upcoming Funcie Friday!
Funcie Friday is a regular casual social mixer held at various locations around Muncie.
- Full cash bar
- Non-smoking location
- Free appetizers!
On Friday, May 15, join MYPG at White River Landing, 117 W. Charles St., for FREE appetizers and a cash bar from 5:30-7:00. If you’re really hungry after a long day’s work, order dinner . . . perhaps the Hook, Line & Sinker or a Big Bird! After that, the night will be young and we’ll see where the evening takes us!
What: FUNCIE FRIDAY
When: Friday, May 15 at 5:30
