Your Retiree Executive have just extended our Zoom subscription for the rest of the year. This will allow us to continue to run Zoom Socials on a regular basis.
On January 13th, 15 people joined our Zoom Social, spending almost 2 hours sharing their views on various topics. We even had 2 of our nonagenarians (that’s someone in their nineties) telling tales of CSA days of yore. Did you know that some CSA staff were once housed in a former Planter’s Peanuts factory? You needed to protect your lunch (think camping) as not all of the previous inhabitants had left.
Zoom is easy to use and requires little preparation. To be able to use Zoom, you’ll need a smartphone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone. Don’t have a computer? That’s okay, we have the ability for people to call in by phone.

Keep an eye out for an announcement on our February Zoom Social.
Checkout these screenshots of the November 12th Zoom Social. We had 11 participants who spent up to 2 hours sharing thoughts on Remembrance Day, moving, where to buy the best Italian delicacies, a guitar collection, latest sewing projects, CSA memories, and more!
We look forward to holding another Zoom Social.
