Online via Skype Video Application
The Texas LEGO® User Group - San Antonio (TexLUG-SA) held its seventh virtual Community Meeting of 2022 on 31 July 2022. 14 Group Members participated virtually via Skype from their homes. Attendance virtually is steady and new Members continue to contact us and join into Meetings over the past few months! The Group discussed a variety of topics to include, latest subjects of interest from the LAN or Internet, Members discussed some feedback from attending Brick Rodeo 2022 in Austin, Texas earlier this month, a brief experience of attending an AFOL Shopping Day at the local LEGO® Store at North Star Mall, a brief update on the Group’s Statue of Liberty Project - all parts ordered, short discussion on replacing the current MOC displayed at Krystle’s Brick Shop, availability of reduced in price LEGO® Sets at Shop@Goodwill.com, and the possibility of attending Bricks Killeen as a Group in September 2022. We briefly discussed in person meetings again, but the consensus is to continue with virtual meetings for now. The Group Members again shared their interests in LEGO® themes they enjoyed. Everyone enjoyed hearing about and seeing Members latest creations and catching up as 2022 continues.

Our Virtual Community Meeting is filling the void of seeing each other personally and keeping the Group connected. Virtually allows Members to save gas, a very real thing now and save time by having a Community Meeting online and still accomplish subjects of interest to the Group. Last visit to the LEGO® Store, masks were not being worn by either customers or employees, but still a limit of the number of folks in the local LEGO® Store was in effect. 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, and 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 or their workplace physically via these online Skype Virtual Community Meetings.
