Photo Slideshow Preparation
Collect photos from members from the previous calendar year and put together a slideshow to show during the banquet. you can work with the secretary to collect them thru swimfasttrifast+secretary@gmail.com (or on Google docs, Dropbox, e.g.) You also need to bring your computer to connect to Ken`s projector. Ken has assured me he owns an HDMI to USB-C adapter now, but its worth bringing a monitor cable if you know which one works for your computer. Check with the committee to see who has a backup PC and cable they can bring.
