Instructions for AOCPR.ORG Web Site Programming

A) Bring 1) CAMERA & 2) Card reader to CONVENTION.

B) Do as much picture loading at the convention as possible, because you won’t have time again till maybe next year, and it will be much harder to learn the program again at that time.

C) Buy computer log in time at both hotels and take laptop with you to all of the meetings.

D) Give updates to the web site and reports at the business lunch meetings.
