The intro / cover slides for programs Elayne has done for organizations she belongs to are shown below with pertinent comments.
Elayne presented The Four Seasons with Poetry on 6/10/17 at the Bebee Public Library in Wakefield MA to Massachusetts State Poetry Society (MSPS) members and interested public. After technical difficulties trying to use a MAC computer, the program was off and running using the Library's Windows computer to an enthusiastic audience. One attendee also joined the MSPS.
The above photographic program was presented on 11/9/17 at a Woburn Guild of Artists meeting in Choate Horizons, Woburn MA. Some members of the assisted living facility also attended. After the presentation Elayne gave out a handout of photographic tips she learned in camera club competitions.
Elayne attended the Woburn Senior Center frequently after she retired the end of 2014 and tested most all her photographic PowerPoint programs at their monthly Circles of Friendship that met at 12:30 p.m. (see Public Programs Presented page). She also photographed numerous large events, many of which she photographed in 2016 and 2017.
This background cover slide has been used in three programs including this one on 10/8/20 to the Moving On group that used to meet in Lexington MA at the Church of the Redeemer but began meeting via Zoom in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. This program included facts and statistics of key areas/objects.
This was the second Gratitude program presented to Johannes Kelpius Lodge AMORC (JKL) attendees and the first Zoom presentation. The first was on 5/23/10 at an open house forum at JKL's home in Allston MA where it was the first use of this slide format and background. The 10/23/20 was a Zoom presentation during the coronavirus pandemic when members were unable to meet at the Lodge.
The second Zoom presentation to Johannes Kelpius Lodge, AMORC (JKL) was 1/15/21. The "SRC" means Soror Rosae Crucis, a female designation in the Rosicrucian Order. This slide program was created to be used for other interested venues with little adaptation.
The third Zoom presentation for Johannes Kelpius Lodge, AMORC (JKL) was 6/26/21. Working with white light is an important Rosicrucian tool yet few people know what it is about and how to use it. Elayne created this program interspersed with her more dramatic stories to help people understand how protective and centering it can be.
The fourth Zoom presentation for Johannes Kelpius Lodge, AMORC (JKL) was 1/28/22. Elayne was asked if she could do another program before the end of 2021 but she told the Lodge Master that "the muse had not spoken" and that she only created programs when inspired. When Elayne was looking at some PowerPoint slide designs and came across this one, the muse gave her the title and quickly created the program.
The fifth and last Zoom presentation for Johannes Kelpius Lodge, AMORC (JKL) was 3/17/23. Rosicrucians understand that form and creation is in duality but generally do not have an understanding of unity in creation or the formless.
