Update on what's doing at the _________________________________________________________________ Having been isolated at home for a good bit of time now, life is settling down somewhat. We're even getting excited about the lockdowns being reduced a bit sooner than later! Now we have Recovery Step 1 being implemented Monday 11 May which should make us a bit happier. We still need to make a few calls out to those who might need the connection, and after that, we can tackle a bit of fishing, the odd game of golf, gardening or some of those little home maintenance jobs which have been on the back burner for quite a while! Meanwhile our Club have been using meetings via our own Zoom Platform to manage business. Please refer below for the calendar of meetings we have scheduled to end of this Rotary Year They are also listed as 'events' on our website calendar,on the LHS of the front page. So far, we have had two successful board meetings and two combined committee meetings. Some people have attended District organised zoom meetings which have been interesting and fun. This week we had Committee meetings on both Tuesday (5th) and Thursday (7th) evenings. We encourage you all to participate in future, relax and don't feel self-conscious about it. PLEASE NOTE: I am happy to give some operational pointers to anyone who wants it any time. Maybe at a prearranged time on the day prior to your meeting, to make you feel more confident. Please phone me on 0427 618 997 to make some arrangement. Each list of committee members will continue to receive an invitation via email a few days before. This includes the login link and basic information for the zoom meeting. (I must apologise for now, but to date I have not been able to get the invites through Outlook and Google calendars for you, but hopefully some determination will correct that soon.) Remember we all have to "learn to crawl before we can walk", so we all need to have some patience while we become used to a new technical and remote means of keeping us all connected, and our club connected to the community as well. Please have a read of the Zoom meeting Etiquette document attached below. Sooner or later, especially if we remain under this type of home isolation, we will need to try a general club meeting and make sure we involve a very good guest speaker or perhaps a member could do an interesting 'Know your Member' presentation? A small reminder that you do NOT need to load any Zoom apps onto your device viz, Desktop computer, Laptop, i-pad, Tablet or Smartphone in order to join the meetings. SUGGESTION: Log on to the District 9500 website via our own website and look for "ZOOM Guides and Support."on the LHS of their front page. |
