I am a volunteer with limited experience in this arena. Could you please recommend a book or two which address the issue of effective and meaningful presentations and also the type of projector needed.....most of the presentations will be to groups of 30 and will in some cases have limited ability to dim lights....so there might be considerable ambient light. I do not need a lot of bells and whistles, but materials and hardware which will allow for meaningful and remembered presentations. Thanks so much for considering my request.

However, it is very useful to have all you loyalty bar codes (or just account numbers) on you cell phone. Hope you find it of use. Bill Dear Bob & Joy,

It contacts you up to 4 times a day using email, txt and two voice calls. Just reply or answer once and no more contact attempts that day. Only $30 a month (discounts for longer) and it works in USA, Canada and central Mexico. The website is http://www.robochek.com Originally designed for older folks but works for any age and is not hardware dependent, all you need is a phone. If you don't reply or answer it automatically sends an email and voice call to two emergency contacts asking them to check in on you. Several user selectable options..call everyday or every 2 or 3 days, etc... I read your site often and find some of the articles and news items quite useful, so thanks for your time and effort, you do good work! - Jerry Maybe something your readers might be interested in, a new subscription service for people who live alone.
