Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, Yesterday we held our weekly video meeting, and it was truly a great meeting. We had some laughter, some fun, and some serious and important discussions; overall, the meeting was very good, and we had some connections issues for some members but still a great meeting. During our meeting we discuss the attendance and being more active in the society. One thing that was mentioned, was the day and time of the video meeting. For those that attended yesterday it was not they never wanted attend previous ones, but rather the time and day of the meeting was an issue for some. I truly not only enjoy these video meetings, but I feel they are important to facilitate the growth of this society. I understand that there are time zones, and locations for our members that live outside the United States can be an issue for some, and this is why I am willing to facilitate more than one meeting to help accommodate everyone, we can try to make these meetings as available as possible to those who truly want tot to participate in them. So, I want to propose four issues that I hope that all members will take the time to read and vote but also give their thoughts in the comments on days and times, as well as if you would like specific topics to be laid out and announced ahead of the meetings. Also do you want the name of the meetings to be changed and what you might like to label the meetings? Please vote and leave your comments below: 1.Give the meeting a more inviting and suitable name like " The Society Lounge" 2. A more suitable day or maybe have multiple days to meet. 3. the best times on these days 4. Do you like the idea of specific topics to be discuss announced and posted prior to the schedule date
