Artificial Intelligence and you

Good morning, Robert. I know there is a recording, because I found a link to
it this morning. I couldn't open it without more information than I
currently have for accessing things in our Zoom. 

I texted Mike Hansen on Tuesday morning asking how we access it. I haven't
heard back yet and am leaving town early tomorrow morning, so doubt I will
know before we leave. I do host our meetings, but Mike is our webmaster, so
he is the one who has access. 

Sincerely,

Barbara

Steve: yes it was recorded. I'm passing this on to Barbara Loos- she is our
Zoom Master and she turned on the record feature. So hey, I'm thinking she
knows how to help you. Maybe we will need to put it up some where and let
people know how to access it; maybe you have an idea?

Thanks for asking

at no extra cost from Cable companies. Apple accessibility number:
877-204-3930. Nancy plays games. She will send those she listed to our
listserv. Others mentioned other games. Bob mentioned that the Adobe Acrobat
update no longer works well with JAWS. He will send instructions on what to
do to reconfigure Acrobat Reader.

Barbara talked about upcoming Health Equity dialogues. She will be on one
October 19 from 1:00 to 2:30. She will send the Zoom link to our affiliate
listserv.

Linda read the September 11, 2023, Secretary's Report. There were no
additions or corrections, so it will become a part of the permanent record
of the organization.

Cheryl read the October 9, 2023, Treasurer's Report. It will become a part
of the financial record of the organization.

Robert, Jo and Barbara will work on the script for the video for use by
activity directors. Robert will see what Chris would like to do to be
involved.

Robert mentioned that Peg Halverson will be our speaker next month. She will
