Our monthly virtual Community Meeting continues to achieve one of our goals to keep in touch and plan events and collaboration activities within our Group and with our LUGs in the State for now. Virtually the gathering allows Members to meet from the comfort of their homes and still accomplish subjects of interest to the Group with limited disruption to everyone’s busy lives. A good thing is that each Member get a chance to show off builds virtually and discuss the builds challenges or enjoyment of the build. Additionally, each month, the Ambassador relays pertinent information from the LAN and gives Members an opportunity to discuss and comment if they desire. 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. Virtually allows other potential new Members to drop in and check out the Group and express their interest in joining regularly. Members continue to show the rest of the Group their LEGO® builds via these online Skype virtual Community Meetings.
