When we do public presentations, we use a PowerPoint slideshow to help us convey the information. A laptop computer is required to give the presentation, but not all of us who are planning to "go on the road" own a laptop. We're hoping to find a community-minded person who will donate a laptop for this purpose. We're looking for a laptop that's in good shape —Windows or Linux or Mac — ready for high-speed Internet, with a USB port, preferably with at least a GB of RAM. If you have such a laptop that you would be willing to donate, please contact us at ttacontact@gmail.com, or give Lance a call at 482-1692.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------To learn more, or to contact us, please visit our Website at http://transitiontownashland.org/, where you'll find info on Transition Towns and Permaculture, access to our Action Groups, to local CSAs, to the Sustainability Inventory, to our Multi-Media and Links Pages, an opportunity to share ideas, and much more.Please join us on Thursday, November 19, to learn more, and to connect with your neighbors in this vital and exciting enterprise.
