The
American Legion Post 218 is pleased to announce that Evan True of Exeter will
join nearly 400 other high school juniors from across Nebraska participating in
the American Legion Cornhusker Boys' State, June 5 - 11, 2016, at the
University of Nebraska - Lincoln downtown campus. The annual citizenship
program, sponsored by the Nebraska American Legion, is designed to provide
youths a better understanding of how city, county, and state governments
operate.
American
Legion Cornhusker Boys' State is set up as a functional "51st state"
and each boy learns how government subdivisions operate by actually doing the
job. Participants will campaign for offices, hold elections, take part in
band and chorus, compete in athletics, and be involved in other varied
activities as part of the citizenship training program. They will set up
their own state government and draft bills.
