>Good morning Turners, ahead of the first virtual general meeting for 
>the club this Saturday at 1000, I wanted to send out some basic info 
>and some ground rules to help make this a success and a enjoyment for 
>all. I have included a couple cheat sheets I found on the AAW site.
>
>I plan to send out the invite 1 hour prior to the meeting.
>-When you log in I would ask that you mute your mic at first. Most pc 
>mics pick up all sounds so if there is a lot of background noise where 
>you are it would be recommended to leave it muted until you are ready 
>to speak or try to move to a quieter area.
>- The plan is to open with a greeting and a basic how to for anyone new 
>to Zoom. Then board meeting minutes and general business. I would like 
>the lion's share of the time to be used for the members present to show 
>off a piece or two they have made during our time away.  We will go to 
>each person present on video to present so lets see those works.
>-There is a message feature if you want to chat with individual members 
>or the whole group. Please try to utilize that feature especially if 
>you want to chat with an individual member so we are not trying to 
>"talk-over" each other.
>-There is a "raise hand" feature we will use during discussions. I can 
>host up to 100 people but may only be able to see a certain number on 
>the video screen. This will ensure your ideas/comments are heard by the 
>group.
>-Be patient, this is a new platform for a few people. There is a 
>learning curve but we can help each other learn and grow on this as we 
>do on the Lathe.
>
>I plan to have the room open about 10 minutes prior to the meeting if 
>anyone wants to come early or has questions.
>
>In Service
