MAP Carries the Bicentennial Torch

Indiana celebrated its 200th Birthday with a non-stop Indiana Bi-centennial Torch Relay throughout the state. Muncie Action Plan board members represented MAP and their respective organizations in Delaware County’s leg of the Relay.

MAP Board members John Craddock and Dale Basham were selected as torchbearers in recognition of their decades of service to Muncie. Craddock continues his work to ensure a safe community water supply and has been a national (and international) leader in similar legislative efforts and was recently awarded the honorable “Lifetime Achievement Award” by the Hoosier Environmental Council.  Basham, a retired educator in Muncie Community Schools and active in Rotary International, was recently named “United Way of Delaware County Volunteer of the Year.”
