> Anniversaries celebrate the memory and existence of communities,
> institutions, organizations, agencies, events and individuals. They are
> opportunities to communicate interest, passion, mission and collective
> memory. For example, several significant Massachusetts' 2003 centennial
> celebrations include: first World Series (Boston Pilgrims vs Pittsburgh
> Pirates); first state (along with Missouri) to issue automobile licenses
> and registration plates; Guglielo Marconi's first two-way transoceanic
> communication at Wellfleet; the founding of the Massachusetts Nurses
> Association, Massachusetts Association of the Blind, and Massachusetts
> Golf Association. Several national centennials include: the first
> successful airplane flight by the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, NC;
> creation of the Department of Commerce and Labor; settlement of the
> Alaska-Canada boundary; ratification of the Panama Canal Treaty; and the
> incorporation of the Ford Motor Company.

> Forum 2003 will bring together people who are interested in Celebrating

> discover anniversary events to promote and highlight their historical
> interests, whether 300th, 200th, 100th, 50th 25th or other.
