[Men] Meet Via Zoom

[David Ballantyne]

George,
Thank you for suggesting and for hosting this.  I'm willing and available for either 22nd or 29th.  My preference is 22nd.

I've read that Governor DeWine has expressed being firm on May 1 as was when Ohio will begin "normalization" from COVIN-19 restriction measures.  I think I've read that normalization is being viewed as "Phases" - I think four phases were mentioned, mirroring what other States are doing.  I thought there was flexibility as to the details of each phase, at the discretion of the Governor (based on that State's data and situation.)  Have you heard any details as to Ohio's "Phase 1"?

You mention Ted's  ILR Course.  I haven't heard of this particular course.  I assume Ted has researched this subject.  Perhaps he sheds light on the "above."
Dave

Subject: [Men] Meet Via Zoom

Greetings, FUUSM men:

     I have had some discussion with Gary Hamilton about Men's Group and the fellowship that we are all missing. As I read about the impact of the coronavirus (much of it through Ted Goertzel's wonderful  ILR course, the Sociology of the Coronavirus), I have noticed that the re-opening of our country is likely to happen in a  gradual fashion. This may mean that the most vulnerable people, i.e., those like us of advanced age with some underlying health issues, may continue to be quarantined for a longer period of time.

    In light of this likely event and in light of  my purchase of a Zoom Pro account, which, among other features, allows for an unlimited  meeting time period, I suggested to Gary the idea of having a Men's Group meeting this month, next month at our regular meeting date and perhaps other months into the future via Zoom.  I am willing to host--I can set up a co-host  as well.

      I am, therefore, suggesting a Zoom-based meeting on April 22 or 29. It might be best to meet around 7 p.m. (since we won't have appetizers or a meal) on one of those dates. Most of the meeting will probably involve an extended check-in period to report what we are each doing during this shelter-in-place period .

      Please let me know by this Tuesday p.m. (April 21) if you would like to participate and which of those dates this month that you prefer.

      I miss you all. Let me know your thoughts.
