From the Brigade Commander

This month, I will forego the usual banter and, instead, share a message of educational interest and urgency. On Tuesday, March 2, this CWRT will hold its fifth monthly meeting/presentation of Campaign 43 using an internet tool called Zoom, as in-person meetings are not yet permissible.

I know some folks are uncomfortable using the internet. But since we want you to get the most from your membership, and because continuing support from our members is fundamental to our organization’s survival, I want to remind you that Zoom also offers a “listen only” mode via telephone. And while listen-only limits the learning experience, it does offer a way to remain a continuing student of the American Civil War.

After you respond to the email invitation (to indicate your attendance), you will receive (also via email) the information you will need to access the meeting space. About five minutes before the start time for the meeting, dial one of the phone numbers listed on the meeting access email. (You may also be asked to enter the Meeting ID and the Passcode that will also be listed on the invite.) Once you are connected, Jim Duffy, our meeting moderator, will admit you to the secure meeting space.

If you’d like to ask the speaker a question, simply email your question to Jim (Duffysocwk@aol.com), and he will forward your question on. We hope that you’ll be able to join us for what should be a terrific presentation. You can read more about the speaker and the presentation on page 2.

NOTE: If you don’t receive a meeting invitation to your inbox, be sure to check your spam or junk folder. Sometimes, PCs and smartphones send emails to these folders in error.
