Our September 13 Meeting is again ‘virtual’ with Zoom.Gather at 6:30 pm or later, when we can visit and have open discussion before the 7PM meeting.Please note that beside the Zoom invitation link, you can join via a phone link.That information is below the zoom link, but note a different passcode that you will need to enter, if joining via ‘phone. We are trying to make this as easy and accessible for everyone to partake in our meetings.If you are ‘camera shy’ you can join with the video off when you log on, as well as have your mic muted.We have found that Zoom meetings are an easy way for those to join into the Chapter for discussion or ‘catching up’ with everyone, from home or out-of-town.I’ve had success joining with my newer computer as well as my ten-year-old laptop with Windows 7.Mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads and Android devices also work.If nothing else you can join the meeting with a ‘good old phone’ using one of the phone numbers, meeting ID and passcode listed in the invitation.Although we can’t offer you pizza and refreshments during the gathering, you don’t have to worry about driving to a meeting, or the concern of COVID to get together with everyone.We hope you can make it! Our Presentation will follow the Chapter Meeting.
