Several expressed concern about the complexity of Zoom compared to Free Conference Call which we are using now. Jack Memdez, an experienced user of the platform, offered a number of helpful suggestions. It is believed we can make the switch transparent so those who want to use a call in number and access code can continue to do so.

The event would begin the afternoon of Thursday July 16 and finish Saturday evening July 18. Food and hotel costs would be covered by the affiliate, transportation would not be covered. It is, of course uncertain if our organization would be allowed to hold a meeting in Lane County at that time. Carla McQuillan believes we could work with a limit of 25 attendees if need be. More information to come.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; min-height: 12px;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Jerry Hathaway pointed out Saturday, July 18 conflicts with Rose City Chapter meeting that month. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; min-height: 12px;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Presidential Release #494, dated May 1, 2020 was played. </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; min-height: 12px;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">MaryAnn asked about the affiliate's gift card raffle.
