June 4, 2020 - From the SSI Board
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, it is highly unlikely we will be able to resume our physical gatherings, at least through the end of this year. At this time, PCC has announced that its facilities will remain closed and we expect access to all other venues to be closed as well.
In light of this situation, and to protect our vulnerable membership, we are moving our regular activities to the online/virtual environment via the Zoom application when possible. This will include Current Events, Play Reading, Poetry Reading, and our regular two-hour classes.
Some groups are already in the process of transitioning and we are contacting our class presenters to ask if they will be able to make the transition to an online presentation. We will be providing information as soon as it becomes available.
In the meantime, you may wish to familiarize yourself with the online meeting platform, Zoom (https://zoom.us/) - It’s free to participants and easy to use. Zoom offers online tutorials and we are organizing support for members who are new to the process (more information below).
These changes are new to most of us and may take some time, but that's what SSI is all about - We embrace the spirit of life-long learning.
