We are currently ~30 tickets away from being sold out, please try to get these last tickets sold. We do have posters to get the word out about this event, please send John Somerville a note if you would like to receive one (via e-mail).
President Wayne discussed our Phoenix project, and how our club may rise from the ashes. He introduced Ron Lichtle, who spoke about his history with the Troy club, and how COVID-19 will be impacting our club going forward. He is asking for assistance in how we may recover. There will be an e-mail coming out asking for ideas, please respond, this will help us tremendously.
John Somerville then spoke about Zoom, and how we can make this program work better for us. Specifically, he spoke about speaker vs. gallery view, and the chat feature. Those two options will go a long way to help us improve the overall experience.
