Dear Club members,
Yesterday the Board of Directors held a first ever video conference meeting online using the program called ZOOM. We have also planned an online Club meeting for next Tuesday March 31, 2020 at 12:15 and you are invited to join and participate.
The ZOOM program that we are going to use is owned by the Tabernacle Church and has been set up by our own Reverend Joe Amico. If we decide to continue with the ZOOM program, the Club may purchase or lease its own platform in the future.
Forgive me if my use explanation is not entirely correct, but the steps are for the most part are simple. A laptop with a camera lens is best for use. A desktop computer or cell phone can be used, but you will receive audio only.
Click on the link provided below. You then allow the application to download to your computer which happens quickly. When ZOOM first opens you need to click on the video camera symbol on the bottom left to receive a visual. You then may need to click on the gallery # symbol (perhaps top right) to enter the “Brady Bunch” format to see all members. Rev. Joe will have all on mute to begin.
Be well and keep safe. I will look forward to our first online meeting next week.
President Mike
Joe will be there to try to help those unfamiliar with the process. Given the potential for 30-40 people to be on, Joe will mute everyone except the person speaking (Otherwise we’d have chaos). So be sure you say something like “Now I’m going to turn the meeting over to………” so Joe can unmute that person. If there are a lot of participants, Joe will need a few seconds to find them and unmute them.
