Community Plan Important
Since planning is such a vital part of each community betterment organization, MCB wants to encourage communities to review your community's plan from last year and make any changes that your community feels are needed.
If your community determines that it is time to develop a new plan, please go to the MCB Planning Guide for possible suggestions on how to start work on the new plan - using whichever style of plan your community chooses to use. Also available on the MCB Web Site is the "MCB Community Inventory Form" which is yet another community planning tool that is available.
When considering the projects your community chooses to enter into the MCB Awards Competition this year, remember that they should relate to your current community plan.
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).
