Why CELEBRATE ANACONDA! ???

• Celebrate Anaconda! is a special event organized

by the Anaconda Community Foundation to

showcase the best of Anaconda.

• A huge part of what makes Anaconda special is

the behind scenes dedication of the people in our

community.

• Through this event and slideshow we will shine the

light of recognition on the amazing people and

their efforts that make Anaconda great.

So let’s Get Started!

Here’s how this interactive celebration will work:

1. An Ammmazing Anaconda Nonprofit will be

showcased on a slide.

2. A reporter for that group will have 2 minutes to

share information such as:

a. What is the group’s mission

b. What’s been done

c. What’s next

d. What YOU can do!

3. When time is up you - the audience - responds.
