2011 Project Book Example
MCB wants to provide communities with as much assistance as possible as they prepare for the 2011 MCB Awards Competition. MCB has placed a sample project book on the MCB web site: MCB Project Book
This example will give new or reactivating communities and neighborhoods a starting point as they assemble information and put their 2011 project books/disks together. For the communities and neighborhoods that have participated in the MCB Awards Competition for many years, this will be an example of how other community organizations compose their project books/discs. Communities can then determine if they would like to try a new style of community project presentation.
The Project Book pages are only in
example form. Other formats are
acceptable. Community and Youth Group
Project Summary Forms should only
include written narrative. (No images on
these pages)
48th Annual MCB Conference
The MCB Adult and Youth Planning Committees have worked hard to select timely topics and outstanding speakers for the 48th Annual MCB Conference. The conference will be held again this year at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Jefferson City. Events will start on Sunday evening and conclude with the Awards Banquet on Monday evening.
MCB strongly encourages all Missouri communities to enter the 2011 Awards competition. If it is not possible to enter the competition this year, please plan to send community representatives to the Annual Conference. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet people from other community betterment organizations, review community Project Book entries, visit with vendors that can assist your community with future projects, and hear great speakers on community topics of great interest to both youth and adults.
Please mark October 16-17, 2011 on your calendars and plan to attend the 48th Annual MCB Conference. MCB will be featuring topics and speakers in upcoming MCB "Community Matters" Newsletters. Watch the excitement build as we move closer to:
MCB is not magic, but it works; the odds for winning look good. Take your chances....
