Oh my goodness I forgot all about that show!

The Zoom duration is 2.5 hours. This was the time Ann set up.
i don't think we will fill up the entire 2.5 hours and i don't plan to, but rather we could add a few more "10 minute" segments such as the ones listed "a" through "c" listed below.

So far i have these activities for the Zoom event:

1. CS Session led by JackieB (30 min)
2. Scavenger Hunt ice breaker (20 min)

Some short segment ideas we could consider adding:
a. People who participated in the gift exchange can share what they gave/received.

b. demo of "new" gadgets that anyone might want to share (i have one to share)

c. similar to "b" participants could ask about certain gadgets that we could do a "show and tell" about. could also be athletic wear or shoes too.

********

i heard that participants of the old VF get-togethers would watch a new workout video together. i'm not suggesting we do that, but it gives you an idea of what activities they did during the get togethers.

This reminds me of the Friday night chats we used to have years ago (audio only). Wendy set it up and whoever wanted to would log in at the appointed time and we'd just talk about anything and everything. I miss those chats.

We also had lots of local VF get-togethers. One at my house was actually attended by a reporter and covered in the local newspaper!

ETA: Cleda, I just saw your post about Friday night chats! Those were the days.

This is sounding like it's going to be fun!!!

at last year's Zoom meeting, i had to drop off early, but we basically had unstructured conversations. I thought we could do a little planning.
