There’s some skill involved in getting projects across to people, especially in a large group where a lot of things are going on. Sometimes you might find that in the whirlwind of discussion about what position to take on the Botulism Bomb factory, nobody realizes that they’re supposed to show up at the town meeting on Tuesday. To avoid this, project coordinators and others giving presentations on upcoming projects and events should learn how to emphasize things so that people can really hear them. 
<br>
<br>A good outline for a presentation might be:
<br>
<br>A very brief background on the project, for example:
<br>“OK, you’ve all heard that DeathCo. plans to build a Botulism Bomb Factory in the middle of the 32nd Street Public Housing Complex. We’re gonna stop ‘em!”
<br>
<br>What is going to be done for the project and when:
<br> “Come to the town meeting on Tuesday!”
<br>
<br>Discuss what is being done for the project:  
<br>“We drafted this letter to the Town Council. What do you think of it?”
<br>
<br>Tell people in the group what needs to be done for the project:
<br>“We need help going door to door to get people at the town meeting.”
<br>
<br>Collect the contact information on the people that you’ve activated with your presentation:
<br>“OK, we’re passing around a sign-up sheet for people who want to help. We meet at Hoser Hall tomorrow at 2:00.”
<br>
<br>Remind group members about what your call to action was:
<br>“So show up Tuesday to let your voice be heard! If you need more info call me at 222-4711.”
<br>
<br>Excite people!  Make it happen.
