In accordance with Governor Inslee's Stay Home Stay Safe Order, we will be having our meetings virutally till further notice. We understand that there are some drawbacks to switching to this new medium, but this is currently our best idea on how to stay engaged during this busy election year.
Our current plan is to use the video confrencing website Zoom to conduct business, starting on April 15th with our April General Meeting at 6PM. If you have never tried Zoom this video tutorital may be helpful. Additionaly to help all of our members learn this program, as well as allow our commincations team a chance to try out our skills, we will be offering a pratice meeting on April 8th at 6PM. For anyone unable to make the first pratice session, additional help will be provided on April 12th at 2PM. Please follow the links below to register for each relevant event. Registration is a required step!
If we can provide any additional accommodations to ease your participation, please reach out to Chair Brian Gunn. |
