Jim and John, I would recommend that we just renew all members without new dues for 2021, we have 4700 $ in the Bank and this , would hopefully hold our membership. Also, if we would happen to need more money to get us throught, 2021, we could just do a $15 fee ,to each member to get us into 2022! I think we need a 1 hr zoom meeting each month bye 3 members to conduct any business and show off some good works! This would have to be done at someones house with WiF ??

It would be up to the board what we do, but several possibilities exist. The best possibility would seem to me to be Zoom. A moderator would control the meeting, giving members a chance to speak and keeping the discussion going as would the president in a face to face meeting. James, if you are comfortable with managing a Zoom meeting you would be a natural as president. </div><br><div>Club dues are due and a decision needs to be made: do we just renew everyone without paying dues since we did not spend 2020 dues for anything other than basic club functions or what? Also we should make a decision about club officers. Just reappoint the existing board or what?</div><br><div>One would be a simple meeting via Zoom, but there might be a boredom factor with that. Perhaps a short business meeting would be tolerable and useful. We could incorporate an instant gallery in this too. This would be a matter of holding the piece we are presenting in the instant gallery up to the camera on the computer, phone or tablet you are using while discussing your design, finish and so on.</div><br><div>Another would be to do some kind of a demo in a Zoom meeting. This might involve one of us setting up a camera, perhaps on a phone and placing it in view of the workpiece so it would transmit the actual turning and the your narrative. The person running the Zoom meeting would control the image being transmitted and handle questions. Or we could have another person present at the lathe handling the camera while the turner turns. That might be best.</div><br><div>So if you have read this far (I hope you have) you will notice I have not made any decisions or directives. That is way above my pay grade, to quote a former president. This is the time for members to speak up with feedback, ideas what you want as a club member and how to keep the club going during these trying times. Please think about this and circulate your thoughts as replies. </div><div> </div><div>This will give direction to the board about the future of the club. I do not want to see it fade into nothingness so I hoped we can do some kind of on-line meeting.</div><br><div>John</div><br></div>_________________________________________<br>
