  Shelby from the <a href="https://uua.org/">UUA</a> talked about
  using social media for outreach, Facebook, Facebook pages vs. groups,
  Twitter, child safety issues, and a variety of other important things.
  She also covered what resources the UUA has for churches and
  RE programs.

  It was a really great session.

  After it, I decided to retool the rest of the workshop to follow
  Shelby's flow.  I think it really reached the participants plus
  I think it's the best model for maximizing the usefulness of the
  workshop for everyone involved.

  I also decided to stop using social media presentation tools.  I
  find them pretty lame looking and the interfaces are kind of irritating.
  I want to type a bunch of text and put the text in specific
  places.  I don't want to fiddle with my presentation as if it were
  a page layout problem.  Ugh.  Anyhow, I'm now using 
  <a href="https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/">s5</a> which I love
  because it's easy to use and portable.
