The course also considers the best ways to present photographs to others. Printing was the customary way in years past, but today many photos are sent via the internet, in video clips or in PowerPoint presentations. Technology enables the photographer to select the proper resolution for each. Shapiro has been a member of the Rossmoor Camera Club since moving to Leisure World in 2003.

Separating Myths From Truth The Story of Investing Wednesday April 11th 2018 7PM-8:30PM Annapolis Room - Located in Clubhouse 1 Linda Daniels 3700 Rossmoor Boulevard - Silver Spring, MD 20906 LifeTyme Financial When I became a financial advisor, I made a personal commitment to my clients that I would continuously search for the best solutions avail- able to them. I want to share with you a perspective on investing that I learned that may change how you view your investments forever! I am hosting a client educational event that you do not want to miss because it could make a huge difference to your financial future!

You or your guests won’t be asked to buy anything, but you will learn about the traditional investing myths most people believe, which may compel you to look further at how you are going to build your wealth into the future.

During our evening we will discuss the following about the traditional investment model: • Why market timing doesn’t work • Why stock picking doesn’t work • Why an investment’s track record means nothing about how well it will do for you • The ‘big secret’ of what’s killing the return in your portfolio • How you can be a very successful investor without using speculative methods

Seating is limited. Please do not wait to call and reserve your seat(s). Please RSVP to this event by April 10, 2018 - Call 240 595 1538.

Today’s Tip – Delete All Alarms Using Siri Every time a user sets an alarm on the iPhone, he or she creates an alarm for the specified time and turns it on. Then, after the alarm rings and the user shuts it off, that alarm remains in the Clock app. If the user ever needs an alarm at that time of day again, it is there. Over time, though, the list of old alarms grows longer and longer. Users can delete them one at a time, but that is inefficient. Instead, just tell Siri, “Delete all my alarms.”
