Assignments are organized on paper but communicated in person during an interview. In these times interviews are easier than ever. Text or pick u...

Considering options for a virtual Mother’s Day program. It will be simple to have members/children record short messages and edit them together, but I’ve not figured out the primary singing thing. I can edit but I move limits the number of picture in picture boxes to four. I was also thinking of pre...
