Jerry Nebel talked about virtual Santa meeting setup. Green screen with wrinkles not very good. Make sure it is as flat as possible. Also suggested camera position and angle, lighting that helps show Santa.
Have a story line to present, maybe a virtual tour of the Santa workshop and camera setup.
Ron mentioned the August meeting and option to have catered meal.

Ron shared that we should all be tracking and reporting our volunteer time. IBRBS has a system for. Some NORPAC members have provided their hours to us on our website.
Ideas for learning for future meetings included pricing structure for virtual Santa visits, companies that already provide that service, how to establish your own format.
