Online via Skype Video Application
The Texas LEGO® User Group - San Antonio (TexLUG-SA) held its eighth virtual Community Meeting of 2021 on 28 November 2021. 15 Group Members participated virtually via Skype from their homes. Attendance at virtual meetings has been outstanding compared to in person meetings at our local Mall Food Court, since the Pandemic started in March 2020, so for now we are continuing to meet virtually. The Group discussed a variety of topics including cancellation of annual Holiday Party, and wrapping up the New Braunfels Fall Train Show in person Event. The Group welcomed a new Member who recently moved to Texas from Virginia, Robert C. Everyone looks forward to meeting him personally when we begin to meet in person sometime in 2022. A new LEGO® Resale Retailer opened in the San Antonio area at the Rolling Oaks Mall - Krystle’s Brick Shop. 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 Omicron Variant of the COVID-19 virus and the continued effects of the Delta Variant of the COVID-19 virus. Masks and social distancing are still a requirement at our local LEGO® Store, it is still recommended that individuals wear a mask when indoors throughout the greater San Antonio, Texas area. Members are encouraging each other to attend and actively participate at the virtual community meetings since we continue to put physical community meetings on hold, participation continues to be strong at virtual community meetings. Members continue to show the rest of the Group their LEGO® builds while working from home via these online Skype Virtual Community Meetings.
