| Special Needs | Strong preference for Saturday morning, though I could make Saturday afternoon work. I cannot be there Friday. I plan to use PowerPoint, so I'd need a projector. If I need to bring one, I can. Similarly, if I need to bring a laptop, I can. But I'd be happy just bringing a thumb drive. |
