December 29,2004 <br /> Ann Whitlow, Chairman <br /> Mashpee Historical Commission <br /> 16 Great beck Road North <br /> Mashpee,MA 02649 <br /> Andrew Eliason <br /> Mashpee Cable&Advanced Technology Advisory Board <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br /> Mashpee, MA 02649 <br /> Lear Mr.Bliason: <br /> The purpose of the Mashpee Historical Commission is to preserve,protect and promote <br /> the history and the cultural features of the torn of Mashpee. Part of that mission is to apprise the <br /> citizens of Mashpee of the unique history and inherent beauty of their torn. <br /> To that end, I have developed programs pertaining to Mashpeds history and geography. However, <br /> as you know, in a high tech world, students as well as adults need to see and hear a presentation <br /> with the proper technical definition to feel a part of it and to relate. <br /> Lately,I have converted to Micro Soft Power Point, a program designed for presentations <br /> that have visual as well as audio special effects. we have purchased with our small budget,a <br /> laptop computer, but now need a projector to bring this program into the schools and various <br /> town organizations.The Town hall has a projector but it is used by so many departments that it i <br /> rarely available for our use. <br /> We are asking you to grant us the Binds to purchase the projector which not only would <br /> fit our needs but would also provide a wonderful link to the community and the schools.The <br /> projector that we are considering is expensive because we need higher lumens to produce a <br /> clearer definition. I recently attended a seminar at New Seabury Country Club where the Power <br /> Point presentation was flawed because the room was too bright. As a result the audience could <br /> not see the slides and became restless and talkative. The projector we want needs at least 1500 <br /> I umens to be seen under any conditions. <br /> I have researched pries and the best price l could cone up with for a projector which <br /> meets our specifications is at Best Buy with 1400 price tag including rebates.Because I have <br /> incorporated marry old photographs in these presentations I need superior equipment to give <br /> maximum enjoyment to the audience. <br /> I am enclosing a pamphlet that I am in the process of converting to a Power Point <br /> presentation that I hope to present to the community. I hope it will give you an.idea of what a <br /> great teaching tool this can be. <br /> Thank you in advance for giving consideration to this worthwhile project. I will be happy <br /> to discuss it further with your board. You may reach ma at 508477-3670. I believe that this <br /> project will promote and foster a love of Mshpes history that will instill in our children and our <br /> citizens the civic pride that is needed for a town to thrive. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Ann whitlow <br /> i <br />
