citations in the media, and so on.
EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES
 Flipchart
 Paper
 Markers
 Felt-tip pens (fine-point)

ROOM SET-UP
The room has to be large enough to accommodate the timeline. People will need to
read it and add to it.
Comments
It is important to help your group understand where they have come from and what
lies ahead. Looking back on the history of the organization and what people accom-
plished during its growing stages can be very inspirational.
The timeline can be put up ahead of time if another room is available. This will pre-
vent it from distracting people as you lead other activities.
