<div dir="ltr"><div>Hey Bill,</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://lugod.org">lugod.org</a> is still live for me, loads quite fast actually. Bit out of date, but the IRC section has been updated with the new info: irc.libera.chat #lugod is the channel.</div><div><br></div><div>We're also long overdue for a member talk, and elections. I'm still not willing to host an in-person meeting, because covid is still running rampant and I don't LUGOD to be a superspreader event or to endanger the health of any of our members. <br></div><div><br></div><div>We've done several informal video meetings, but participation has been low, and I don't think the format really lends itself to one of the most important (to me, anyways) parts of the club: socializing with one another. The pre- and post-general meeting mingling is where people really meet, and during my tenure, the socials have really been the place where the most vibrant conversation and real connections have been made between members.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately, I'm relocating to Colorado at the end of the month, so if someone wants to consider taking up the local mantle, now is the time to start thinking about stepping forward.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Anyone have suggestions on how to stay in contact with one another, and conduct club business? Should we reform the constitution/bylaws, or maybe dissolve and start again so we can be an online-only presence?<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Tim<br></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Sep 2, 2021 at 7:31 PM Bill Kendrick <<a href="mailto:nbs@sonic.net">nbs@sonic.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On Thu, Sep 02, 2021 at 12:27:53PM -0700, Bill Kendrick wrote:<br>
