Dear Tennis Club Member(s):
Surprise! Because of the COVID-19 threat, we will NOT be having the Annual Meeting of Members in the Clubhouse, but instead will use Webex, a videoconferencing system offered by Cisco Systems. The meeting, on Sunday, March 29, will start at 5 pm, but you should "join" early, as explained below. You can join by computer or smart phone for video, or you can join through a normal phone call for audio/voice only.
The meeting will be moderated by Liz Herbert, a member of our Board of Governors and an accomplished "techie." At the start, all participants will be muted by Liz. Then when it's time for questions and comments or voting, all participants will be unmuted. If you participate by computer, you can also use the chat function, which Liz will monitor throughout the meeting. You can use the chat function to message everyone or just specific people by using the drop-down list. Please keep in mind that if you choose to message a speaker privately, especially while he or she is speaking, that person may not be monitoring the chat.
You should login slightly early as you will need to download Webex to get it working. Liz will be "online" 30 minutes before the meeting starts to ensure ample time for logging in and troubleshooting. If you have any trouble logging in/joining, you can call or text Liz at 617-852-7232. She will do her best to monitor her phone and texts to solve as many issues as possible.
Also, only those who have paid their 2020 dues will be allowed to vote. So if you haven't yet paid, please do so right away, and thanks.
Finally, I'm sorry to say that we haven't yet figured out how to serve hors d'oeuvres at this type of meeting, but I hope you will participate anyway.
Warmest regards,
Donald K. McInnes
President
