I have really enjoyed the Zoom meetings but miss the face to face interactions when we met in person.
I agree with Thom Kline’s comments – “I also agree that maybe some form of hybrid meetings maybe the way to go. Maybe look at having only two in-person meetings a year, late fall and early spring. (after and before the kayaking season). Maybe meetings to be held on a Saturday or Sunday with a larger agenda (4 hours in the morning )? This would help with our younger working members, avoid the growing Vancouver traffic tangle plus time to mingle after. Then have monthly Zoom meetings with a shorter agenda but major speakers that can be on-line from anywhere in the world?”
I also liked Andrea’s comment – “I also like the idea of a social event to discuss and plan trips. Anyone willing to book their gathering space in their condo could host the event. And why not make it a potluck?”
Big thanks to all of those who are volunteering. I have volunteered in the past with the club and continue to help when I am able to attend events. Unfortunately, I have some family members who are in need of my help on a regular basis, which limits my ability to volunteer more.
