Monthly Member Meeting
OFF Zoom Meetings
Due to the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, Ozark Fly Fishers has transitions to electronic Member Meetings. Come Zoom with Ozark Fly Fishers. On the fourth Thursday of each month, Ozark Fly Fishers, Inc. will offer online, visual programming for members. The programs will be available to all members that have a computer or smartphone.
On the morning of the meeting, each OFF member will be emailed a link and password for the evening program. The meeting will begin at 7:00 PM, but members will be able to join the Zoom meeting room as early as 6:45 PM. This month, our Guest Speaker is still to be determined, but we’ll have more info soon.
As always, the programs will be advertised on the OFF Website, our social media channels, through emails to members, and in the monthly newsletter. On the morning of the meeting, each OFF member will be emailed a link and password for the evening program. During the meeting program, all members except the presenter will be muted, so that only the presenter will be able to speak. Members will be able to virtually raise their hands in Zoom if they have questions, or post their questions in the Zoom chat. We’ll demonstrate how to do this before the meeting gets started.
If you cannot make the Zoom meetings, a video recording will be posted to the OFF website a few days following the meeting. (But it’s more fun to join in live.)
