\"\"<\/a>1) PRE-MEETING TECH CHECK<\/h3>\n

As club members all know, during the pandemic isolation protocols dictated that we suspend our in-person meetings for a time, a hiatus that stretched into some three years, as it turned out, a dramatically longer period than anyone had anticipated! So as to allow MonSFFen to continue meeting, the club instituted a series of virtual get-togethers. These \u201ce-meetings,\u201d as we dubbed them, proved successful and popular with most MonSFFen.<\/p>\n

When the pandemic ended and post-COVID-19 anxiety faded, and it became feasible to once again meet in person, we nevertheless wanted to continue to offer this online option, particularly to our out-of-town members. We elected to experiment with live-streaming our in-person meetings, which has largely met with success. But, in that some of our equipment is a tad antiquated, and we are at the mercy of the available WiFi at our physical meeting locale, the effort has not been without a few technical glitches. Last month\u2019s \u201cHalloween\u201d meeting, for instance, proved particularly gremlin-plagued, predictably perhaps, given the meeting\u2019s theme!<\/p>\n

In any case, the experiment continues this month, and if all has gone well, you are now viewing a live-stream of MonSFFA\u2019s November 2023 Meeting. It is our aim to live-stream this and future club meetings, thereby creating hybrid events in which participation may take place both in-person and virtually.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This afternoon\u2019s proceedings are shortly to get underway. Those of you joining us online may follow along, and participate, by way of our ZOOM-chat (See item \u201c3,\u201d next post, for instructions on how to do so).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
