* Random Converstations
** Virtual Meetings could be held on Discord, Zoom, Skype, Facebook Group, and/or Google Meeting in the future.
** For Distance Members - it is my intention to provide online 'phone in' access to physical meetings whenever possible
** For Local Members - During summer meetings, LTJG Niss and Lt Leland
have offered to be a meet-up point prior to meetings at the V.Adm's
ranch in the spring/summer months, from there organizing as few cars as
possible to shuttle people to the ranch. Parking is NOT an issue, but I
am aware gas prices can be prohibitive. Overnight guests will be allowed
on the weekends of each meeting (there is plenty of space for several
tents) just be advised there are snakes in the area that could be
venomous.
** Physical meetings will resume when our CMO gives his agreement that
it is safe to do so. I am watching the progress of reopening California,
but I am also cognizant of exposure risks for those with existing
health issues, for that reason I will rely on our CMO to lift our
chapter restrictions.
