Mid-Atlantic Postcrossers NOV 2020 Virtual Meetup
This event will be conducted virtually on Zoom. That means you attend by videoconference (teleconference if you don’t have video capability). Zoom is a cross-platform application that supports this capability. You’ll find details of how to get access to the Zoom event when you RSVP at the link supplied above.
Note that the website at the link above is being used to manage this event; this forum page is a courtesy announcement, but all RSVPS and queries should be conducted via the Meetup site linked above.
Agenda:
1 - Round-the-table introductions, please keep it short, as this could take a while depending on how many people we get!
2 - A ten minute presentation of decorating cards with rubber stamps by the host (ETA55)
3 - Open discussion (bring your favorite postcard you received in the last week!)
Lessons learned from previous Postcrossing Virtual Meetups:
Once in the conference, please add your Postcrossing handle to your Zoom login name. This can easily be done by using the three dot pull down menu next to your name and is not a permanent change.
Zoom includes a chat (texting) function; this allows for sidebar conversations in addition to the videoconference. Often these two overlap; it is helpful if, while in chat, to state the following in your text: to whom you are responding if responding directly to someone, and a repeat back of their question.
Note that the chat will be recorded and may be made public following the teleconference.
An event card is being produced for this event, and will be made available to all attendees, details can be seen on the event page listed above. Note that the event card does not use the Postcrossing logo as that is not permitted for virtual events.
This event is open to ALL postcrossers, hope to see YOU there!
As of 17 OCT, the event cards are in, photos are posted on the Meetup site referenced above!
