 might be beneficial to residents. Alex will send Scott and Sam the age
 and demographic data of the Village.

 Avi advised the group that many Skokie residents are likely not familiar
 with the names and acronyms associated with every day technology.

 create mini-video presentations on the technology and post them to
 YouTube or link already created videos to the STAT page.
