CONVENTION DAY THREE The evening featured an Indian dinner and an Enchanted Garden dinner (JNF). We were blown away by the Windy Wonderland formal and the All Night Slumber Party. KA18 "From being able to contribute by helping the participants, in the same way I was helped and encouraged as a JAB participant two years ago, felt truly rewarding. It not only helped me enhance my multitasking, prioritizing, organization, and management skills, but also gave me an unprecedented oppor tunity to connect with like-minded people, and build a greater sense of community." --Darshi Shah, YJA JAB Admin Team 2018 Attendees continued to reconnect with their roots through Daytime sessions. In between sessions, attendees watched JAB and JIA Finals and loved an All-American lunch. JNF attendees participated in a Community Service event and heard from JNF Keynote Speaker, Ashwani Jain. CONVENTION DAY FOUR "As my term comes to an end, I have finally taken a chance to reflect on the journey that has brought me here. I have come to realize that one small idea and action can make all the difference in the lives of so many. For me, it was the objective to help young Jains connect with Jainism in America, specifically in my hometown of Chicago back where it all started in 1994." -- Miten Shah
