It has 24 panels, each representing a community that was a finalist for the award. It is traveling across the country to the finalists&#8217; locations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are excited to have the All-America City quilt in Fort Wayne this week. I invite you to the Grand Wayne Center to see the diversity of communities across the country who vied for the award, not to mention being able to check out the free Holiday Houses for Habitat exhibit here in the Jefferson Boulevard hallway,&#8221; said Mayor Henry. &#8220;Although the quilt will only be here through Thursday, Fort Wayne&#8217;s All-America City spirit and attitude is on display throughout our city every day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fort Wayne&#8217;s block has the All Together Now logo, which was the city&#8217;s theme for their winning bid earlier this year. Seamstress Julie Robinson stitched the block using satin fabric and an appliqu\u00c3\u00a9 method. Fort Wayne-based ad agency One Lucky Guitar designed the logo; local designer Beth Heironimus designed the quilt block. Robinson and Heironimus attended today&#8217;s news conference.<\/p>\n<p>In June, Fort Wayne was one of 10 communities across the country to win the National Civic League&#8217;s 2009 All-America City award in Tampa, Fla. The league recognized Fort Wayne for its efforts in assisting refugees and helping them integrate and succeed in the community, assisting children through the Great Kids Make Great Communities program, and efforts to raise funds to improve connectivity of the local trail network and create safer neighborhoods.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='5de934e224480bb466306ba31f7157ce' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
