PowerPoint Presentation Night
It’s adult Show & Tell time…

Join us for PowerPoint Presentation Night
Sunday, September 13
6:00 - 7:30 PM
Watercolor Cafe
A few ground rules (or lack thereof):
- No slides? No problem. Bring a poster board, draw on a napkin, or just stand up and lecture us.
- Zero desire to present? Perfect. We need an audience. Come hang, eat some snacks, and watch the chaos unfold.
- Topic ideas: Unfiltered hot takes, island lore, dramatic life lessons, buzz-feed inspired interactive presentations. Funny, serious, or absurd—all are welcome.
Bonus: If we run out of presenters, we’ve got a mystery activity lined up that you won’t want to miss.
Bring your friends, bring your weirdest ideas, and let’s take it back to 2nd grade Show & Tell. Hope to see you tomorrow at Watercolor!
