Let’s get together on Thursday at 4:00 p.m. and have a practice “let’s get familiar with Zoom” meeting! Janine and I will be hosting the “webinar” type Zoom meeting and you will join as an “attendee” – this is the same setup that the Ortonville City Council is using for the regular meetings and Public Hearings during this time of social distancing.
We will go over how you can raise your hand if you’d like to speak during the appropriate times during meetings & public hearings – by raising your hand… you’ll be brought into the meeting with your audio and you’ll be able to speak/discuss your points during the meeting and when you are done you will be placed back in the watch/listen “attendee” section of the Webinar style meeting. When we bring you over, we can also work through any audio issues that you may have – or if you’d rather use the chat option to communicate you statement or questions.
Join us for a “just between friends” casual practice session on Zoom – and be prepared to be a “citizen to be heard” during these meetings. #MNbumpTogetherwecandothis
And if you have trouble getting on – PLEASE – call my (Vicki) cell phone at 320-305-2434 and I’ll mute myself from the Zoom meeting and help you get on! This is truly a casual one-to-one training so that you can stay involved in local meetings – and we want you to be very comfortable using this tool!
Here is the invite you’ll need to join the meeting:
