For the meeting in August, it would be great if any of you that attended the GAL convention could join the meeting and share your experiences. Pics / video is a bonus.

Just want to say I've been watching all the zoom meetups and am enjoying them and picking up tips and ideas every month. Saturdays are a bad day for me and I'm not set up to zoom, but they are still fun and informative. Maybe this winter I can work on getting set up to join in.

Either way, thanks Brad and the rest of the participants for an hour of good internet time every month!
