Boys Nation - Friday, July 22

The delegates arrive from across the nation to begin their week of adventure at Boys Nation.

The Washington D.C. weather was hot as was the rest of the country, but that didn't damper any of the excitement evident in the boys' eyes.

The delegates initially signed in, received their room keys and Boys Nation polo shirts before heading to their assigned dorm rooms to drop off luggage.  Soon they had the opportunity for their first meal at Marymount University and then it was off for their first section meetings followed by an ice cream social mixer.

Thursday - July 29th

A day on the hill.  With the humid, hot temperatures abounding, the senators head to the hill to meet with their senators.  A day full of exploring, learning and watching our government at work along with the amazing opportunity to meet the senators from their home states.

Evening brought the much anticipated and much loved visit from Holocaust survivor, Nesse Goden.  She was thrilled to speak to Boys Nation once again and the senators were captivated and moved by her stirring and emotional story.
