White elephant party on January 28. We want guests, but no food.

We need to educate people on what the white elephant is about.

Each member can bring 2 gifts so guests will be covered, the value between $5 and $15.

Lynne as a sergeant of arms opened a brainstorming about what can we do better.

Is Robert getting thumb drives back? Jean will remind people to return these to Robert.

Nancy offered to donate their own old drives. We can attach a lanyard to the drives.

Or each member can arrange their own drivers as they wish.

We discussed ways to improve the connection to the projector,

but came to the conclusion that we do now the best way possible.

Jim does mostly the keeping up with the technology, Lynne and Nancy back him up.
