The Power Point is basically just a series of slides. It takes about 20 minutes to run through on auto. It is divided into three parts - the history of the club including past presidents, sponsoring the Tijuana club, Eisenhower's visit, then the history of philanthropic activities, and finally the history of music and song in our club. I am thinking I would ask one or two Rotarians to join me for "color comments" rather than just run through slides - as long as we keep it to 30 minutes! |
