Subject: Hybrid meeting slides
A draft version of the slides will be shared with you shortly after sending this email.
After our meeting yesterday and listening to your comments, I realized that I was planning too much content for 30 minutes max of presentation. With 70-some people potentially showing up, I agree that we need a lot of time for Q&A and scaled back the slide content a bit.
There are 7 presentation slides but only 4 that contain talking points. I thought it was necessary to include those points on the slides so that people can follow along as you both talk.
See what you want to be changed and maybe we can meet tomorrow to finish the preparations. I'm available most of the day. I suggest that we do a walkthrough if you have time.
Even with embellishing the talking points or adding more as you talk, we should be able to finish in less than a half-hour. I did not assume that we would have time to show clips of the videos, but we can do that if needed.
Also, I added speaker notes to the slides, mainly for my thought process as I was writing. I'm sure that I missed a lot, so please let me know what needs to be added.
Notice on the last slide that I added a new Gmail account that we can share, rather than providing our personal email addresses. And it will save extra emails back and forth between us. If you don't like that idea, I'll delete the account or just use it for my address.

Hi Ann – thanks for these.
I am pretty sure they have these docs, but will pass them on to be sure that our records are complete.
Meanwhile, do you know of un/successful lawsuits that we should also be analyzing??
Maybe I should connect with Waldo on this too??

I know CD players/radios are still being made, thankfully, and I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for ones with good clarity for folks like us with hearing loss. Thanks for any suggestions!Diane KoosedAshland, WI
I do know that CD/radios for sale can be found by googling. I'm wondering about recommendations from anyone who has experience with one make or another. Thanks fo any help.
You haven’t expressed what format you are looking for. The two popular ones are personal and boombox. Bluetooth is an option on some models, although usually in the boombox format. What is your choice for audio output - speakers or a headset/earbuds? My recommendation is to try an electronics store with a room where you can test various models using, if possible, your output device.

It's omnidirectional, which is OK in a small
room, but in a meeting room a cardioid (directional) microphone
picks up less reverberation and background noise.

By the way - your laptop should have an internal microphone. Anyonespeaking from a podium, could just have the laptop opened, on the podium,and speak clearly into the microphone.

You do not need to spend anywhere near that much, because it will not give you any better results, unless you are planning to make high-quality recordings of music. I suggest the NGS MS102, available from Amazon for a very low price. I suggest you buy one and see if it works to your satisfaction. If it does, you can then send the money you saved to me, or donate it to HLAA.
