Online via Skype Video Application
The Texas LEGO® User Group - San Antonio (TexLUG-SA) held its sixth virtual Community Meeting of 2021 on 29 August 2021. 13 Group Members participated virtually via Skype from their homes. Attendance at virtual meetings has been outstanding compared to in person at our local Mall Food Court, so for now we are continuing to meet virtually. Several Members attended Brick Rodeo 2021 in Sugar Land, Texas at the end of July. 1 Member accepted the “Patriotic” Build Challenge by building an American Flag out of appropriately colored LEGO® bricks. Congratulations to Chris C with his build! A few Members are considering participating or going to Bricks Killeen from 18-19 September 2021. A new event and venue nearby San Antonio. A good number of folks participated in the recent AFOL Shopping Day on 4 August 2021. We appreciate the relationship we have with our local LEGO® Store! Members are planning their MOCs for the Fall Train Show in October 2021 with the New Braunfels Railroad Museum hosted show. It was announced that Brick Rodeo 2022 will be in Austin, Texas. We went around the Skype Session virtually and Members shared their latest creations or builds during the past month and other general subjects associated with the love of the LEGO® brick within the Group. Everyone enjoyed hearing about and seeing Members’ latest creations.

Our virtual Community Meeting is filling the void of seeing each other personally and keeping the Group motivated during these continued trying times with the surge of the new delta variant of the COVID-19 virus. The State of Texas has relaxed all mandates associated with masks and social distancing, especially for those that are fully vaccinated, except encouraging individual choice when it comes to wearing a mask indoors. Members are encouraging each other to attend and actively participate at the virtual meeting since we continue to put physical meetings on hold, and participation continues to be strong at virtual meetings. Members continue to show the rest of the Group their builds while still working from home via these online Skype Virtual Meetings.
