 For the Silver Spring contra, the things Will has been doing are:
   - Before the event, make sure the iPads and their paired Square credit card readers are charged up, and that the iPad apps are up to date, using the App store. Also install any iPadOS updates, using Settings -> General -> Software Update. Note that iPadOS updates are infrequent.
-  - If you will be using any Android tablets: Before the event, make sure any Android tablets to be used and their paired Square credit card readers are charged up, and that the apps are up to date, using "Manage apps & device" in the Play Store app. See "How to make sure all Android Play Store app updates get installed" below. Also check for any Android system updates, using Settings -> System -> System updates. Note that Android system updates are very infrequent.

   - Once back home, restore the cash kitty to its normal starting contents. I suggest $80 in $5 bills and $20 in $1 bills.
   - Make sure the income and donation cash (and checks if any) get deposited within a few days, a week at the very most.
-====How to make sure all Android Play Store app updates get installed====
-Google's Android Play Store app has acquired a strange, annoying behavior about finding updates to install, where it will not always find some of the latest updates unless you force an additional search. Here is how that works.
-  -Run the Play Store app (a multicolored triangle pointed to the right).
-  -If at any point it displays an advertisement screen for anything, most likely Google Play Points, choose "No" or "Skip" or "Not now" or whatever bypasses the advertisement screen.
-  -Tap the round icon in the upper right, normally a lower case "a" on FSGW check-in tablets. That "a" comes from the first letter of the current account, which is "android#@fsgw.org", where "#" is the FSGW tablet number.
-  -Tap "Manage apps & device", which display a "Manage apps & device" page.
-  -If the page says "All apps are up to date", do not believe it. Instead, tap "See recent updates" just below that.
-  -Tap the "Updates available" button in the row of buttons below the "Manage" tab.
-  -A "You're all set" icon and text will probably get displayed. Tap the "Check for updates" button below that.
-  -If it re-displays the same "You're all set" icon and text, now you can believe it, all available updates are installed, and you should exit the "Play Store" app.
-  -If it displays a list of apps with updates available, tap "Overview" near the upper left, then tap "Update all" below "Updates available", then tap "See details" in the same place.
-  -You will see the updates gradually getting downloaded and installed. Once all the updates have installed, again tap the "Check for updates" button, and go back 2 steps here.
