*About Zoom Webinar
For Members Only
For Members Only
- A webinar ("web" + "seminar") is an online video presentation that is broadcast to a group of participants through their computers or other mobile devices via the Internet. Currently, our Chapter is using Zoom Webinar to facilitate this process for broadcasting our meetings.
- When possible, all regular meetings will be broadcast via Zoom. Occasionally, we may not be able to do this because of technical difficulties or if the speaker doesn't allow it, for example.
- Prior to each meeting, an announcement/invitation will be sent by email to each current and life member of our Chapter whose email address is on file with us.
- The email will include instructions and a link to click to join the webinar just before the meeting start time.
- Each webinar is limited to 100 participants. Participants will be added to the webinar on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Participation in meetings virtually via Zoom is currently available only to members. Information about joining can be found on our Membership page.
Chapter Meetings
- All meetings are held on the 4th Monday of each month at 7:00 pm, unless noted otherwise.
- January and February meetings are virtual via Zoom only due to the possibility of inclement weather.
- Other regular meetings are in-person, but we will try to broadcast them to members virtually. (See "About Zoom Webinar" above.)
- The April meeting is our Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner.
- No meeting in December.
All regular in-person meetings are held at the Firelands Historical Society Meeting Room, 9 Case Avenue, Norwalk, Ohio, unless announced otherwise, and are open to the public.
