THIS IS AN ONLINE SOCIAL GATHERING VIA ZOOM.

Previously, the meeting had been scheduled for 6 PM GMT, but has been changed to 5 PM London Time which is 2 hours earlier to accommodate more people.

The top and bottom edge of this map will tell you how many hours before or after London Time you are. Clicking anywhere on this map will greatly enlarge that section.

If you did not get a 'thank you' from me as a private message, I did not get your email address as a private message. If you posted your email address as a comment in a thread, I may not have seen it. (I will add email addresses up until Saturday evening, 9/19, 9 PM, US Central Standard Time.)

This will allow us to put a face and voice behind the comments. Meeting each other via Zoom is almost like meeting each other and will build an even stronger community.

If you feel so inclined, introduce yourself, perhaps tell us where you live, when you were diagnosed, a little about your journey with PD if you like, ask questions, make suggestions, say what topics you would like to see covered in future meetings or say whatever you wish.

It’s clear we have to add a 2nd meeting to accommodate our brethren in Australia and New Zealand and some Sunday churchgoers. Two different meeting times, one Saturday and one Sunday, will be more convenient to more people. (Details to be announced.)

I will send everyone an email 15 minutes before the start time which will include a link. Simply click on the link to join the meeting. Until the meeting start time, all participants will be un-muted. Precisely at start time everyone will be muted.

Please respect the HU code of conduct. No politics, no rants, nothing off-topic.

There will be a chat box open. Anyone may enter text at any time. I will keep an eye on all chat comments. If there is something amiss that I should correct, but am unaware of, you can tell me about it in the chat box. Address it to me – Marc - so I’m more likely to see it.

If you have moderated a Zoom meeting or are familiar with them, please send me your tips and suggestions.

As of now, there are 40 + participating. By the time of the meeting, there will likely be 50 +.

I hope this thing can fly.

Thank you.

Marc

We'll be able to work it out with another meeting because when it is 7 PM in St. Paul, Minnesota, it's 10 AM in Sydney and in 12 noon in New Zealand. I'm sure they're awake by then.

Well done Marc. 4PM GMT, 5PM BST (the time in London on that day) 6PM CEST (here in France)

Just to really confuse you, when summer time ends on 25th October, for meetings after that date, the EU has decided NOT to change back to CET. So, if you have a meeting on or after 25 October at 5PM London time, that will be 5PM GMT which will be 7PM CEST/CET for us in Europe.

A bridge you can cross when you come to it :-)

I do believe this development warrants at least 4 more threads

Here, I'm worried about people getting tired of seeing the same announcement.

I'm not smart enough to figure that out. You'll have to take over hosting the meetings.

Your military volunteer technique has it's limits. I'll bring the blanquette. 😉

cmc2, I got an email notification that you sent me a private message, but the private message did not come through, so I do not have your email address. Please try again.
