5 Good Reasons to be Involved with ICon

1.  A window to the world ~ Getting to know people from all over means we get to know a little bit about each others continent, country, state, province, town, or village and its culture and traditions.

2.  Learn about and appreciate differences ~ We all are born into different families, environments, and situations, and these are things that are part of who we are; therefore, we all are different.  By being involved with ICon, we learn about our differences and learn to appreciate these differences.

3.  Friendship ~ Any time we meet new people, we have an opportunity to build new friendships.

4.  Build connections in all corners of the world ~ Friendships can last forever; having friends in numerous states and countries gives us a reason to travel and a place to visit.

5.  Fun ~ ICon meetings and activities are just fun; ice skating, guest speakers, foreign cuisine, soccer games, discussions, the Global Weekend, pumpkin carving, sharing time, international festivals, bonfires.... and so much more!
