The SPW notes, “"Cindy has created a waiting room within Zoom for anyone who logs in early (social hour) so that you can chat with other early arrivals. This will allow Cindy, John, Tony and others to get set up in a timely manner and address any issues that may come up. We will also have a club member managing the mute and unmute process to avoid unnecessary chatter and conversation while giving each person the opportunity to ask questions and make comments. Remember, this is yet another new process for us so be patient as we work through any snags in the system. "
