Just click on the long URL that is right after the words "Join Zoom Meeting". If you have never used zoom before it will then ask you to go through a few steps to sign up. You might want to do these steps earlier, using the link Dick sent you in his email below. This meeting is password protected, you'll be asked to enter the password listed in the invtation.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>If you feel unconfident about using zoom, you might try logging in early. Lani is available to help. Her number is 802-426-2045. I could too in a pinch but will be anxious about being sure I've got the technical side of the meeting squared away so might not be able to give you undivided attention! My number is 802-735-3870. If anyone else can volunteer to be a technical assistant if Lani's number is busy, please reply all with your phone number.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Remember to print your music!</div><div>Also, reminder that to increase the fellow feeling of sections, and just for fun, you are invited to optionally color code yourselves: Sopranos in Yellow, Altos in Red, Tenors in Green, Basses in Blue.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Finally we want to offer a disclaimer. While the zoom technology is amazing, it does have limitations. We won't actually be able to hear each other sing, although we will see each other. However, we have devised a variety of ways to conduct this sing-along designed to make it still feel like we are together, and make it fun! It's all a bit of an experiment and an adventure! We're eager to see how it all goes.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Here's the invitation.
