MESSAGE RE. ZOOM MEETINGS
Message from Robert Read to Jo Mavros: "Great turnout yesterday! Thank you for the Excel format in alpha order, does make it easier. It is amazing 100 individual images in sync at the same time. Turn off the mute and we have a tower of babel. Get’s better each meeting I think. I am now able to put faces to names (the newer ones that is.)" Zoom meetings are gaining momentum for us!
