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 still being worn by some employees, and a limit of 35 folks were allowed in the local LEGO® Store at one time. Members are encouraging each other to attend and actively participate at the Virtual Community Meeting 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® purchases of new sets and builds of all kinds while working from home or their workplaces physically via these online Skype Virtual Community Meetings.
