> For live meetings, speakers should notify the Program Chair of any audiovisual requirements you may have. A projector, screen, and computer may be available but is not guaranteed. Breakfast at WiFire is provided by the Rotary Club of South Whidbey Island.
> If presenting via Zoom you’ll be able to share audio and video by selecting Share Screen and clicking on “Share Computer Sound." If you do not have the Zoom desktop client you will only be able to share video. The Zoom host can share audio and video with all the participants if you send us a copy of or link to your material beforehand.
> As a matter of fairness to all concerned, the Club has adopted guidelines regarding speakers who represent a particular political or social perspective, speaking on a matter of debate, or when a topic has more than one side to be voiced. In such cases, the Club will determine the appropriate venue to allow a balanced presentation of the issues for members to consider.
