Celebrating 45 Years!
November 2011
In order to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Decatur and Tokorozawa bond, 14 delegates from Tokorozawa flew to D-town and stayed from November 4th - 6th. The trip included a tour of Decatur on the city trolley, meeting with President Lincoln at Macon County History Museum, a lunch at Millikin Homestead, and a dinner reception at the Southside Country Club. Despite the short stay, we hope everyone was able to start new relationships that last a lifetime.
