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'll then answer your questions. Because we have limited time, please limit your answers to 3-5 minutes so we have enough time because some members have to leave at the end time.

Some members may be available after the meeting like before so you can get more clarification then.
