Over the next 10 days or so, the Board of the FCARC will be doing a series of Zoom "virtual meeting" tests in order to prepare to use it for our April and possibly May General Membership meetings. The way this will work is that an email will go out to each of the members of the club in the week leading up to the General Membership meeting. The email will show the date and time of the meeting (for example April 20 at 7:00pm). The email will also have a link that will need to be clicked on at the time that you want to join the meeting.
There are two ways to join the meeting, one with both video and audio via a computer with a camera, or via a phone call for audio only. If you choose to join with your computer for both video and audio, we plan a test session for the week prior to the actual meeting. The test session will allow you to click on the link and get your video and audio set up properly.
The program Zoom, once you click on the link will download a small client program to your computer and will ask you permission to do so and use your camera.
We are fortunate to have at least two of our board members that have hosting capabilities for the zoom sessions, as there is no cost to you to join in on a session / General Membership virtual meeting.
FYI- the first time I did it, I logged in 15 minutes before the session time in order to get the app downloaded, set up and tested. It was very intuitive and easy to do.
I look forward to seeing you all at the next virtual General Membership meeting.
