[crw-talk] Club Meeting on January 16, 2021

[John & Donna Griffiths]

Members, we are fixing to rock and roll, virtually.  The club will be 
holding a virtual meeting via Zoom at the usual time, 9:00 AM this 
Saturday.  So you will have to supply your own donuts and coffee.  Watch 
and participate from your desktop computer, you will need a 
camera/microphone to plug into a USB port on your computer.  (That is 
one of those funny looking little flat plugs and most computers have 
several plug ins.)  Run on down to Best Buy or some electronic counter 
in places like Target, Walmart and so on to buy one.  About $30.00 for a 
perfectly adequate cheap one.

Or if you have a laptop, they have built in camera and microphones, that 
allows you to sit on your sofa with your feet up or to stretch out in 
the recliner.

Tablets and smart phones work too.  But the problem is they have a small 
screen.

Agenda will be:
1,    Pre-meeting socialization starting 8:30, or so.  Sign into the 
meeting using the Invitation which will be sent out by either Aaron or 
James Bloomer.  Chat and say hello to all of us.
2,    Business meeting.  James will moderate the business meeting just 
like any other meeting we have had
3,    Instant Gallery.  Have some of your recent work nearby and proudly 
hold it up in front of the camera and tell us about it.  (A bit of 
bragging is encouraged.)
4,    Virtual demonstration by Aaron Gesicki, a former member who 
returned to the area and re-upped in CRW.  His topic has not been carved 
in stone, but will possibly have to do with tools, different tool 
materials from carbon steel on up and perhaps related topics.
5,    Anything for thew good and the welfare of the club.

One caution, remember if you attend using a portable device, DO NOT 
carry it to the bathroom with you.  Seriously embarrassing consequences 
could occur.

So please watch your email for further information, more info on using 
Zoom from our club experts and an invitation.  (The invitation will be 
an email with a bunch of black and white type on it and a mile long line 
of blue type in the middle.  About one half hour or closer to the 
meeting time open that email and click on the line of blue type, that 
will get you to the Zoom club meeting meeting.  You will likely have to 
tell your computer to go to or open or download some things once you 
click on the line of type, that is legit and you need to do it.  You 
won't be loading your machine up with garbage.  Also you might have to 
click somewhere on the screen to turn on the camera and microphone.   
After you jump through those hoops the meeting will be live and if 
before 9 AM you can talk with others  After 9 AM the real meeting 
begins.

Hoping to see you all Saturday, stay safe, John
