About half of my small Tuesday group is not computer savvy at all. Unfortunately, 3 of the ladies have husbands with end of life conditions and so we have stopped coming together while the Seattle area has been on lockdown. Most of us live pretty close, and we have exchanged fabric or groceries and such outside a couple of times, but mostly now we are sending daily emails, sometimes multiple emails a day which is unusual for most of us. We all have phones of course, even if mine is a land line, but none of us are the type that like to have a phone stuck to our face.

Our pre-Covid days were pretty well lock-downed anyway, and that weekly group was enough of a social thing we could accumulate our week's worth of conversation and hold it until Tuesday but after so many weeks we do seem to need/want more contact. Pre-covid I just checked my main email once a week! Now it is 4 or so times a day and there is usually something there, not just from my local group but from my other spread out friends. I've always been a believer in the power of touch and human contact, think a lot of us are feeling it nowadays.

Update on meeting....Success!

We joined together on our devices and some members called in with their phones to chat and listen to the meeting.
The President muted our microphones when the meeting began, so no background talking. When someone raised their hand, she would address the person and allow just that person to speak. No chaos! At sew and tell we all could speak freely again as we ooohed and awed at the projects being shown.

Today we have our monthly guild sew day using the virtual setting. No muted mikes today!
