Notes:
Due to the ongoing "social distancing" that COVID-19 has caused the NoVa area, US, and the world, this months meeting will be held remotely via Zoom.
Zoom has a 100 person limit so please, if you cannot attend change your RSVP to no so that everyone who wants to join can. An email with the link will be sent to all yes RVSP's before the event. If anyone is on the wait list, they will be sent the link just before the event starts.
The link for the meeting will be sent to all "Yes" RSVP's around 9am. The room will open at 9:45. At around 10am the link will be sent to anyone on the Waitlist. Depending on slots available, if there is a waitlist (and you are on it), not everyone on the waitlist who gets the link will get a spot.
This meeting will be recorded. By joining the meeting you will potentially be in the recording and on the YouTube video. By joining the meeting you give consent to the use of your image in the public video.
