Ever need an image for a presentation and just can't find the right one to set the scene? How about music to create a "mood" for your program or a quotation from a book or publication to add interest? This program will cover those questions and we will share where to find images, music, and publications and review the public domain structure. The facilitator is Georga Foster.
