I'd like to see what people think in terms of how often we should do a Zoom meeting.
I locked the poll to only allow two answers per person. Please select the two times that would suit you best.

Hi ADAM, I voted for the Once a month weekend. But if you would have one during the week I’d be there. Nice to talk not only trains but other things of interest too. Great to put the voices along with the faces.

I voted for every other week both weekdays and weekends. If it's only once a month and someone can't make it they have to wait a whole month for the next meeting.
I would suggest varying the time, having some in the morning, some in the afternoon and some in the evening. I also suggest having a few members serve as the host so it's not a burden for you. If 3 or 4 members share the hosting it would make it easier all around. I would like to set up a Zoom meeting but I'm afraid I won't be able to get it to work. I'm not that good with computers.

We voted for every two weeks, weekday evening.
Second vote for once a month weekday evening..
Weekends and day are difficult for us due to Paula’s work and my schedule.

so I did a zoom meeting update on my work computer. It has a camera and mic. So I am all set to go. I voted for 2x a month during the week in the evening... that way I can make at least one of them

Weekday evenings every couple of weeks would be nice. 7pm eastern standard time gives our Members in the West the opportunity to join in but isn’t too late for our early-to-bed members in the East. Plan on 1 hour meetings but allow for longer if things are flowing.

I got crushed this past Sunday at 4:00 pm. Week nights are much better for me. And, I would be happy to host one.

I'm pretty much open except for Thursday evenings and Saturdays, volunteer work on those days.

It looks like every other week on a weekday evening satisfied most people.
Let’s try the next one next Wednesday evening and see how that goes. I will send details early next week.
If anyone wants to share hosting duties with Wood and I let me know (thanks Wood!). Basic Zoom accounts are free and you can login using your Google account. The free account limits you to 40 minute meetings (they sometimes extend it for free as they did this weekend for us), good enough for our meetings.

Like a re-chargeable battery, my body doesn't need a long charge to run throughout the day. Guess it comes from working 12 to 18 hr days.

I selected other for my second vote. I was wondering about weekends but day time? My weekdays and weekends have been filled lately with grand kid visits and honey-do's!
I hit the hay around 10pm thru the week and who knows on the weekends. I'm usually up sometime between 4:30 and 5:30 everyday. Maybe we can do a coffee and doughnuts Zoom meeting??? LOL
