The chapter will be using Zoom software for online meetings instead of hosting live meetings for the remainder of 2020. A decision will be made in December 2020 about plans for 2021.
Meetings will be held at 7pm (mountain) on the first and third Wednesday of the month beginning in October. There will be informal meetings on Sept 23 and Sept 30 to allow you to sign on, test the software, and say hello.

Getting Started
Zoom works on a desktop computer or laptop that has a microphone and speakers, Apple phones and ipads, Android phones and tablets. It is best to install the free ‘zoom cloud meetings’ app or software, and you don’t need to sign up or even supply email address to join the meetings. Zoom downloads can be found on this page

Other Tips
- Keep your microphone muted unless you are speaking. The meeting moderator may mute all microphones if there is too much noise.
- Turn on your video so others can see you and create the virtual face to face experience.
- There is a Gallery button, so you can see everyone in the meeting at the same time, toggle the button to see just the person who is currently speaking.
