PresentationPresentation-Attending groups are required to do a project and create a presentation. All groups must base their presentations on our theme: “Improving Our World: One Watershed at a Time.”

-Groups should make presentations that give more than just facts. We need to see reasons for these facts and ways that you can improve your watershed.

-Every group should design and create a poster or other display for all members at the summit to view. Each group also needs to summarize its entire presentation into a span of five minutes.

In the past, there have been many enjoyable activities we hope to continue, including:

Canoeing

One last tip: Some groups have had success in fundraising by asking local groups, doctors, police forces, service groups (e.g Rotary Clubs, Rod and Gun Clubs), local businesses, etc. This is another route to try if you are having fiscal difficulties.
