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.
