Description of projects:
Volunteers are needed, let Bob know if you know of anyone who can help. Bob will help them learn their support tasks.
Light Painting
Bring ornaments, or we can do multiple exposure photos.
Richard Lynch & David Kite will help you paint with colored light. Great for multiple exposures of friends, family, or you.

Mike Norten will make them say whatever you want. Great for Holiday emails or fun family get-togethers. Bring photos of pets or babies.
Paint on your iPad
Linda Reis, our resident Artist will demonstrate the powerful but easy painting techniques you can do on your iPads
Audio Project
Leonard Davis will be demonstrating an inexpensive device that receives a Bluetooth signal, amplifies sound sent to it, and sends it to conventional wired, unpowered speakers. This makes it possible to play streaming audio to older wired, but unpowered speakers. This would include things like one’s private music collection, Pandora, and other online sources.
