ABOUT THE NEW MEETING FORMAT
The general meetings continue to be Zoom meetings and members are encouraged to contact Roland Dumas or Phil Venable with any questions about Zoom or for assistance with setting it up.
To request a link to the general meeting send an email to:
meetings.nvps@imagineworks.com
For most months, the link to the meetings and a calendar download will be in that month's newsletter sent out to members by Lanny Johnson so that members can place the reminders and links in their computer/phone calendars. However, these links are for members' use only. They are NOT to be shared or posted to anyone else!
RULES
We are setting the rules on “easy” because we’re a small group and don’t have much risk of someone causing problems, but do pay attention to these rules:
A gentle reminder: if you need to use the bathroom, DO NOT take your device with you. Please!
DATES
Napa Valley Photographic Society's next scheduled Zoom meeting will be May 24 at 7 p.m.
Subsequent Zoom meetings are planned every fourth Monday of the month at 7 p.m. until we are able to meet in person.

RULES
We are setting the rules on “easy” because we’re a small group and don’t have much risk of someone causing problems, but do pay attention to these rules:
- Do not forward or post the meeting link to anyone at all. If you wish to invite a guest, pass that person’s email to Roland or Phil and we’ll send a one-meeting invitation to them.
- When the meeting starts, set your status as “mute” - that will stop the crosstalk and inadvertent sounds from making things noisy. Only one person can speak at a time.
- If you wish to speak, physically put up your hand and the person leading the discussion will recognize you. Then unmute yourself to ask your question. After that, back onto mute.
- There is a chat function. Find it. When there is a presenter, you can ask your questions during his/her presentation, and the presenter can see it. Your question might be answered immediately or at the end of the presentation, at the presenter’s discretion.
- You can also use the chat function to send a message privately to an individual in the meeting. That’s the same as leaning over and whispering to the person next to you. Just make sure the message is to one person and not the whole group so you don’t embarrass yourself.
A gentle reminder: if you need to use the bathroom, DO NOT take your device with you. Please!
