Individuals who are currently in an Indian-theme program often question the benefit in joining a national program. True, they may be able to start their own independent program without having to pay for any national affiliation, which at first glance, may appear to meet their present needs. But how will that program satisfy their long-term needs?

A Simple Test:

Do you want your children to experience the same program with their kids, as you have with yours?

If your answer is "YES" . . . continue . . .

Are you living in the same neighborhood now, as when you were a child . . . and . . . can you guarantee that your children will be living in the same neighborhood when they become adults?

If your answer is "NO" . . . Continue . . .

Where then, will your grandchildren participate if you only build an independent, local program?
