Have Starstaffers been contacted about their availability for a Virtual Con on October 10?  If they are not available on that date, they could record a brief video to be shown. It is easy to record a video using Zoom, just click on  the Record button.  It would be nice for them to share their recent creative activities with everyone.  Others could share their creative activities as well. Click on Share Screen in Zoom to share photos, videos, and documents.  Instead of cutting a traditional cake, make it BYOC, bring your own cupcake!

Subject: [SN] Create a special online convocation

An online convocation allows people in many locations to participate who could not travel even in normal times, and can be a special event.  My extended family just had a Zoom birthday party for my 4 year old granddaughter, with people in California, Oregon, Washington, and  Germany participating, who would not all be able to come together to a  kid’s birthday party even in normal times. It was a fun event, billed as BYOC, bring your own cupcake.  We ate cupcakes, sang happy birthday, and all the young cousins danced to kid music videos.  Starman said that humans are endlessly created.  So be creative in creating a special online convocation, which could have videos, discussion sessions, and other activities.  The Zoom meetings can be recorded to be watched later on YouTube by those in other time zones or with conflicting responsibilities.  Zoom is free and easy to download from Zoom.us for computers and cellphones.
