Attend Tuesday's Meeting Online! Finally!!

 &

For the very first time we will be using ZOOM Cloud Meetings in order for participants to join an audio version of our Fall Quarterly Meeting via their computer, iPad, iPhone Android, or by phone. Zoom is simple and easy to use; I tested it on 3 platforms and found it very user friendly. Here are the steps to use Zoom to join Tuesday's meeting (10/21, 6:30-8:30 Pacific Time):

PC or Mac

  • (Allow 15 minutes)
  • Navigate to www.zoom.us in your browser

  • Enter the meeting ID: 315 249 599

The plan for Tuesday is to host with ONLY audio from the meeting in order and to post after the fact in order to share visuals that are presented. Be advised that your bandwidth ma affect the quality of the stream.
