<p>I'm game for a Zoom meeting, not being able to make the
"meatspace" gatherings for quite some time now. I think a few
informal practice runs would be a good idea. I have never used
Zoom before but I've been told it's not very challenging.<br>
</p>
<p> I am visiting friends north of the Twin Cities, working in their
woodshop making a batch of staved cylindrical drumshells for a
Hmung priestess. I will be back home on Tuesday but my hosts are
alright with me using their connection for Zoom, except for
weekdays when their oldest daughter is using it for school
classes. Saturday morning would work for me both at my friends'
and at home once I get there. I also have weekday late
afternoon/early evenings that would have to be scheduled a couple
hours in advance. The hostess here works at home on her computer
for the U of M and has frequent Zoom meetings with her colleagues.
Just had a chat with her, she is very web-savvy and willing to
help so I can pick her brains and get advice. She uses the browser
connection on her laptop rather than the downloadable app, says it
works fine.<br>
</p>
<p>I am thinking of initiating a connection either tomorrow
afternoon or Friday for an informal meeting. Will post here an
hour or two in advance. We can gain some familiarity with the
program before getting serious with an actual club meeting.</p>
<p>I have been meaning to post some pictures of the drum project I'm
working on, just haven't gotten a round tuit. (I hear they can be
turned on the lathe LOL) Will try to do that in the next couple
days.</p>
<p>Hope to virtually see some fellow club members soon!</p>

<div>Thanks James, I just want to have a meeting. You are the
President, your call and the board's on which platform and
when. I do plan to attend the AAW one the afternoon of the 21st
featuring John Jordan. I personally do not deer hunt so the
21st works for me.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My two cents worth: I have never tried Microsoft Teams,
never even heard of it till now. I can get Zoom to work,
mostly. I tried a remote medical appointment with my Dr. last
month on Skype Business, I could not make it work at all. An
idea, maybe have a practice run.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So what I envision is you determining the best platform then
doing one or maybe two practice sessions where members can join
the meeting for a few minutes to get the kinks worked out then
leave, and others can use it too. And if you are moderating,
have your phone number available so you can act as the help desk
for those who are finding it too tricky during the practice
session. That way, a better chance of success with the actual
virtual meeting for us old goats who are not tech savvy.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyway, I am ready to rock and roll! Thanks for your
leadership, John</div>

<div>Greetings to all.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks to Lavonne, Lyle and everyone else who has
responded earlier I think we have a lot of support
for a Zoom meeting. No one is opposed to the idea.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, board members, what do you think? I am ready
and willing to take the step. This Saturday? The
Saturday after is WI deer season, And AAW will be
doing a John Jordan on line event that day too, which
I don't plan to miss. Then Thanksgiving weekend? Do
we wait until December? An evening meeting some
weeknight? I think if we plan for an hour or so, with
a definite agenda. Then after we get that experience
under our belts, go on to a longer format like Lyle
Solem said. Instant gallery, discussions. Maybe a
lecture if not a demo. We will need a member to set
up and moderate the meeting. And a Zoom event can be
attended with a smart phone, a tablet, a laptop or a
desktop computer with a camera/microphone. (I bought
my camera and microphone from Target on-line. Best
Buy, Amazon, Walmart and e Bay are among the many
places one can be had for about $30.00 It sits on top
of my monitor.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And other CRW members, please chime in, let us know
your thoughts. Think about the movie about a baseball
park some guy built in his field in Iowa, "If you
build it, they will come..." And by George, they did.</div>

Raasch, thanks much for your thoughts. I
would be willing to do sort of an "open
library, open tool" event at the Center
now and again. I am pretty certain that
could be done in a way that meets CDC
guidelines. My take would be to not have
coffee available (Fine to BYOC), masks
mandatory, a bottle of sanitizer available
in plain sight and no one hang around for
long so our faithful librarians will not
be subjected to prolonged exposure,
distancing practiced to the extent
possible. We might want to stand outside
distanced and chat too. I would make my
95 mile round trip now and then for that.</div>

to Bob's comments, he also suggested a
Zoom meeting and for us to have a pretty
defined agenda that is followed so as to
maintain interest. Much harder for most
of us to focus on a screen where someone
is speaking as opposed to our usual
meeting style. Board members, an idea:
Maybe do a business meeting to submit a
formal motion to carry over dues for paid
up members to 2021. Also do an election
of officers, even it it is to carry over
the current board to next year. Perhaps
we<span> should try to stay fairly close
to the by-laws in these times even if
100% compliance is not practical nor
safe. Such a Zoom business meeting
should also include an instant gallery.
We would need someone with enough Zoom
awareness to run or moderate the
meeting. Volunteers?</span></div>

let's figure out a Zoom Demo project to
do. Maybe start with something pretty
simple like turning a pen. Or a bowl.
Or some other spindle project. How to
do that safely you ask. Well, If I were
to journey to Bob's shop to broadcast
him making a project for example, that
would expose both of us and wearing a
mask makes speaking clearly difficult.
But many of us have a spouse or family
member with whom we live so maybe that
person could be persuaded to do the
camera work. Any volunteers. (My
little secret, if this happens, you get
to pick the topic if you volunteer.)</span></div>

could just do a $15 fee ,to
each member to get us into

<div>
<div
style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span
style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">I want to suggest we
have some sort of an
on-line gathering. 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. </span></div>

<div
style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span
style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">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?</span></div>

<div>
<div
style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span
style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">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.</span></div>
</div>
<div
style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span

<div>
<div
style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span
style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">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.</span></div>

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. </span></div>
