Weekly Community Gathering Flyer/slide show: feedback requested

[Diane Brandon]

Patricia, Could you make your neighborhood open spaces slide show  
easier to use? It would help me to know how many slides there are,  
and to be able to go to the slide where I left off, or where I want  
to reread something, by clicking on (say) #25. I'd also prefer the  
letters to just be there instead of coming up one at a time. (I  
looked at most of it at myspace; I couldn't use the other link.)
