The purpose of 4 zooms a month using a variety of weekdays and times is to accommodate and reach as many members as we can. All meetings are set for approximately 1 1/2 hours; however, the Zoom system does NOT automatically shut off so if we are in the middle of discussion, we can continue and try to hold it to a minimum of 15 minutes extra. Of course, feel free to leave as you wish.
