CHANGES WE HAVE MADE WITH ALL YOUR SUPPORT1) We are now using easy speak to prepare the agenda - this saves TMEs a lot of time as no names have to be transferred to an excel sheet. 2) Word of the Evening will now be chosen in advance and added to easy speak to allow members to check it in advance and be more ready to use it in the meeting. 3) Each officer will regularly have the chance to call the meeting to order and welcome guests on behalf of the President. | WORKING ON HAVING AN ONLINE WINTER 'GALA':We are working on getting onto a virtual 'party' platform that gives us the virtual feel of socializing. Why have we chosen this type of platform? 1) We can all talk at the same time and can sit at different tables and join different tables. So, much more interactive ability. 2) Each member is in control of their movement within the room and does not have to be assigned or wait to be moved. 3) The virtual layout gives the feel of a social room. Mamta is doing some trials right now and will get back to you. So far the platforms being tested are Remo, Gather Town, Sqweee, and Pexip. If anyone has other suggestions, do let Mamta know. | PATHWAYS & New MembersTM Mari Kanno - CONGRATULATIONS on completing LEVEL 3!! TM Mamta Reid - completed Presentation Mastery pathways. [Has anyone else who has completed Pathways or Level 3 and beyond been left out? If so, please let us know.] TM Edgar Carlos - joined us in July and is already a valuable member! Thank you!! |
