MAY 12, 2020 - Meeting #1 (by Barry Robson)
Several members had expressed their wish that we could have a virtual meeting to share work, since it's been over a month that we got together. Joan volunteered to host a Zoom meeting to see if this was an option during the Covid-19 restrictions.
Fourteen members attended, and the Zoom interface proved to be quite user-friendly. Joan gave a quick tutorial on how the program works, and helped resolve some problems members had on their individual computer, tablet, phone, etc. Nine pieces of art were shown for comments.
Barry advised that The Front Porch Gallery has a call for entries (on Online Juried Shows) for an August 9 to September 29 show. Entries are due June 26th, and the fee is $35 for up to three entries.
Everyone agreed we should continue meeting on Zoom once a week. Future meetings will be on Fridays at 9am, starting on May 22, and Joan will send out link invitations early in the week. Please send jpeg photos (to Joan - [email protected]) of works you'd like to discuss by Wednesday, May 20, so she can prepare a slide show for the Friday meeting. Meetings will generally last 40 minutes. Major thanks to Joan for taking this on - we ALL appreciate it.
