Club Meeting - Thursday, May 7th at 7:30 pm
President BMW Club
I am thinking about having a virtual meeting on Thursday, May 7th at 7:30 pm. Probably using Zoom unless someone has a better idea. I'll send a formal announcement out probably late this weekend. 

I am working on a travel presentation and also a training update from David and Ari on their off-road training venture "Safety On Two Wheels" (they last presented at the meeting in Feb). 

Not sure how long this lockdown will continue but the older folks will still be paranoid about congregating for a while I fear. So I need to figure this virtual meeting process out and try it a few times. 

Any comments or suggestions?

First virtual club meeting!

We had our first virtual meeting last night (5/7/20) using Zoom. We had 14 people join us for a presentation from Robert and Mary Ellen Bolton on their trip in Feb to New Zealand. We also got an update from David Jones and Ari Garcia on their new off-road training company, "Safety on Two Wheels." Watch for an announcement from them soon. 

I recorded the meeting so everyone could see how it went. In hindsight I would do things a little differently but we are all learning how to deal with this new more online environment. One thing to note that is not that obvious is that I posted the Zoom recording on Youtube but I made it "unlisted." That basically means that you must have the link to view the video - it is not Google searchable (or any other search engine). Just a way to protect people's privacy who may not want to be that public. 

I will also have another club Zoom session soon where we can have more open discussions without a formal agenda. Kind of an online "Meetup." I'm just looking for ways to evolve the club in this new normal. Let me know your ideas.
