[NFBV-Announce] NFB of Virginia Virtual Meetings for May 11 - 17

Mon May 11 21:36:06 UTC 2020

> This message outlines many events and meetings planned for May, focusing on activities for this week.
>  
> Details on the Saturday, May 16 National Federation of the Blind of Virginia Board of  directors meeting will be provided in a separate message.
>  
> Almost all chapter and division meetings are using the Virginia Affiliate’s Zoom account and all meetings are open to the public.
>  
> All calls are available using the telephone dial in option or through the free and totally accessible Zoom app on Windows, Apple IOS, or Google Android. You can also access just using your Web Browser. Personally, I think the call quality is better through the app, but it is something new and some will prefer the phone option.
>  
> For all these services, it is important to be on mute when you are not speaking. The presenter will provide instructions on unmuting to be heard. Additionally, just like in-person Federation meetings, please preface your comments by stating your name and being recognized by the organizer before speaking.
>  
> Please note: Since so many people are using conference services across the entire American population, it is smart to connect a few minutes in advance. If you connect at 7:00 PM, the connection may be busy as so many people are connecting right on the hour. You may wish to try a few minutes early (or late) so you can get in.
