Zoom Meeting Agenda

1. Introductions  We will have 2-3 minutes per person. We encourage you to write down and prioritize what you would like to say leaving out extraneous details: How you are coping, your stress levels, if you need supplies, etc.

2.  Tom will present his 2-minute tip.

3.  Evening presentation.

4.  After the presentation, if time permits, we will then answer questions brought up.  Because we have limited time, please limit your answers again to 3-5 minutes so we have enough time as some members have to leave at the stated end time.

Some members may stay after the meeting so you can get more clarification.
