Our Intergroup had two members step-up and set-up Zoom/phone meetings at the beginning of 2020, in order to be prepared for bad roads and winter storms. We had used Facetime while we were still doing face-to-face meetings, but this was subject to daily internet connectivity. Little did we know that Zoom would be our “lifeline” during Covid.
Our first Zoom meeting was held on March 16, 2020, the first Monday after the 2020 Region 5 Spring Assembly. We’ve been using Zoom meetings ever since that date.
We are able to have our snowbirds connect with our local meetings all the way from Arizona, Florida, and Texas. We’ve made contact with some Region 4 members too (a member used to be a regular attendee at our face-to-face meetings before the family moved away). We also have a person connecting from a city that does not have OA meetings.
Thank you HP for making this possible.
