limits the number of folks in a particular room to 8 although you can have multiple rooms and people can float between them. Here is the site with the FAQ: <a href="https://houseparty.com/faq/" style="">https://houseparty.com/faq/</a> I agree that a lot of younger folks enjoy it and use it.<o:p style=""></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">The other disadvantage to Houseparty is that it doesn’t seem to allow
folks to call in who do not have video/audio capability with their
computers. If you don't have a computer, most smart phones can do this
but not everyone has them either or they may not have internet access where they live. For that
reason, we use zoom because it does allow folks to call in by
telephone/landline and with the paid zoom account, you can have hundreds of people participate and go for as long as you need to go.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;"><br></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">A number of us are members of the facebook group - me, Katie McGlynn, Willa O'Neill, Lucy Filipow, Jim Rapp, Laura Darkheart, and it looks like they added Ted Goertzel, to name a few.</div>

<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><font size="4">That's a good suggestion, I asked to join the Facebook Group which is called "Peaceful and Silent Demonstration in Marietta Ohio" It has 1,345 members and 12 new posts today, but I can't see them while my membership is "pending" . Others might want to ask to join</font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><font size="4"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><font size="4">The suggestion of a Coffee House makes sense except for the obvious fact that it requires meeting physically in the church. I expect the younger generation may be read for that before the older one, for good reason. The Coffee House we did have was very much a baby boomer nostalgia event, as I recall, nobody from younger generations. It was fun, I enjoyed it, but I'm 77.</font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><font size="4"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default" style=""><font size="4" style=""><font face="georgia, serif">I also wonder if our social media presence, new as it is for us, isn't a bit behind the younger generation. There's an article in the current New Yorker called <a target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vTroXc_Yhl0c7IeP6MC9_kWDly0azd8UQlfq_LWp7Q8/edit?usp=sharing">Zoom Fatigue</a> which claims </font>that </font><font size="4">“FaceTime is so pre-covid.” and says the younger generation is into a service called Houseparty. It's "the virtual living room to Zoom's virtual office." Fifty million people have signed up in one month. Maybe our social media consultant could set something like that up in collaboration with the Peaceful and Silent people. Sort of a virtual Coffee House where people could share their experiences, perform on instruments, read poetry, etc. <a target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vTroXc_Yhl0c7IeP6MC9_kWDly0azd8UQlfq_LWp7Q8/edit?usp=sharing">To read the New Yorker essay click here</a>.
