Hi Lovelies: Mike Godwin and I tested out a Zoom meeting that he can host through an organization he's affiliated with. He's going to set up time for tomorrow and Sunday to get together. *Look for his email later this evening with details.*
In the meantime, you may want to download Zoom for your laptop, and there are also mobile device clients as well. You can find them here: https://zoom.us/ https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/207373866-Zoom-Installers When you join the meeting on Saturday / Sunday, you'll be prompted to install the client on your computer, so don't stress it if you don't get it in advance. So look for the details from Mike in a bit. And see you in Zoomland -- it ain't no Illyria, but it's what we got.
