Yes, JPL does supply some AV, Video and sometimes even slides (my such an old technology) for the speakers. Much of it the speakers are able to download and arrange on their own. Typically what I do is simply put together a Powerpoint of the most recent images, but some video is available, and of course there are plenty of links for everyone to check out on their own. The important thing is to contact the Ambassador in your area for details on what they in particular do. Larry S. Hi, Jackie.

I have been in the program for probably 6 or 7 years now, and it has been a wonderful experience.
