Hi all,

As we continue to adjust to the changes around us, this month's meeting will be on line. Which means all are welcome to attend from the comfort of their own electronic device, provided it's hooked to the internet.

Date: Wednesday, April 1st
Time: 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Location: https://zoom.us/

Agenda:
7:00-7:10 Meeting kick-off, housekeeping, etc. Hosted by Tim (nakman) code 915-474-3439
7:10-7:30 Basic recovery equipment, winching Hosted by Tim (nakman) code 915-474-3439

7:30-7:50 Garmin Inreach intro & best practices Hosted by Ray (rayray27) code 701-910-0358

7:50-8:10 Hi Lift demonstration Hosted by Andy (AimCOTaco) code 473 459 448

8:10-8:30 Winch cable splicing, ends, & tricks Hosted by Marco (rover67) code 257-381-400

8:30-8:50 On line mapping tricks & tips Hosted by Jackson (jps8460) 211-230-8282
8:50-9:00 Meeting close, wrap-up Hosted by Jackson (jps8460) 211-230-8282

As I get the missing codes, I'll update the agenda above. What is the code for, you ask? well it's simple really, that's how you join the meeting. All you need to do is download the Zoom app to your device, or just access the link above through your browser. Either one gets to you a screen with a button that says "join a meeting." Click that, and type in the code, and you're in! Please be sure to mute yourself when entering... as it could get a little crazy with everyone's background noise, even though the presenters have the power to mute you, just save them the trouble. I am sure the time will come for questions, which can either be typed through meeting chat, or through the microphones, all of that is up to the presenter.

For members, Officers will be posting their monthly reports in our Member's Only area here as normal, which will make it to the meeting minutes. But this month is all about interaction and learning, each presenter will go for about 20 minutes, after which time you'll have the ability to leave that meeting to attend the next, or stick around for a quick question if the presenter's willing to hang out. You can attend one, two, or all 5 sessions, totally up to you.

And reminder like all of our events, all of our meetings are open to anyone, so if you'd like to hang out with use for a night and learn a little bit about the topics above, we'll see you on line next week!

zoom noob here. Is it only live or could I log in and hear the meeting as my soundtrack whenever I drive the 80?

It's only going to be live, we're not going to record it. You can get it on your phone though if you're driving at the time.

So folks, tonight just watch this thread if anything seems to go awry, the presenters will all be doing their best to update. For example if a code changes, look here for updates... so a note to all the presenters if you can't get your meeting to work and get to the point where you need to punt and start a new one, we can adapt, just post up your changes.

Remember all this is for fun, led by volunteers, using free software... that said I'm looking forward to it, in particular some of the new content that I haven't seen so much about. See you tonight!

@nakman I just sent you a text - I have a paid Zoom account that can handle up to 300 attendees, so let me know if you want to use my account tonight!

It would be awesome if there was only one Zoom link to use for the whole meeting.

EDIT: And can we have the meeting open earlier for people to chitchat like we're virtually kicking the tires out in the parking lot before the main event?

We've got our plan, we're sticking to it. Benefit of multiple meetings is it allows the hosts to be their own moderators right off the bat, will keep things on time. Also allows the hosts to stay after if there are questions, permitting the next guy to start on time. We can change this up for next time based on how tonight goes, let's see how it does.

Of course you can, great idea, just schedule a meeting a post a code... First session starts at 19:00 at 915-474-3439
