We hold an online "Speaker Meeting" every Wednesday evening at 19.30 BST [GMT+1 London] online using video conferencing from Zoom Cloud Meetings - to join us simply use: Rotary E-Club of East Anglia's Weekly Zoom Meeting, https://zoom.us/j/470985565
We are now building up a sound club with more members coming online for the speaker meeting and also visiting this asynchronous meeting if they cannot because of time zones, other stuff or simply do not wish to do so.
This asynchronous meeting is the one to register your attendance as part of our intention to open up all avenues of communication.
This week online we had a great discussion about the ways we can communicate and that we need to be able to find ways to get to know each other more - there is no reason why a member cannot arrange to log on to Zoom with each other and have a chat for example, or leave a comment on the closed "clubhouse" Facebook group or even at the bottom of this meeting.
eClubs do have more challeges to get to know the other members and any suggestions are wecome.
