HOW TO JOIN THE GATHERING 

We "open" at 6:45 p.m. for gathering and begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. 

Before you join, please turn off any extraneous sounds in your home: TV, music, barking dogs  , etc. as they interfere with conversation when you unmute your microphone to speak.

When you join, make sure that your audio and video are on so we can hear and see you.

Look on your Zoom screen for the small icons of a microphone and a video camera: 
If there is a red line through the microphone icon, your audio is off and we can't hear you. Click on the microphone icon to turn audio on. 
If there is a red line through the video camera icon, your camera is turned off and we can't see you. Click on the video camera icon to turn video on.

Once a lot of people have joined, we may ask you to mute your audio.
