[Choir] thinking of you

[Lani Seifert]

Hi Choir,
I just signed up for Zoom, following the directions on the video Dick
linked us too.
The sign-up and setup is easy.  However, if you don't have a webcam on your
computer already, you may be hard pressed to find one as they seem to be
out of stock in several places.
Luckily, most tablets and smart phones have them installed.
Could we try it out?
Maybe Dick could schedule a meeting (not to sing) so we could see if we can
get started?  I'm hoping Guy Bunce will provide some followup instructions
too.
Hope everyone is maintaining their distance and their health.
Lani
