Remotely on computer & phone by appointment - Join Tim and Janet Casey for a lesson just for you in order to learn how to use Zoom. Zoom is an easy virtual meeting tool that allows you to meet with groups of people, large and small. You may connect with one friend, or meet a group who
bring their own beverages to the table and chat while seeing each other – a distanced get together. Interested? Please email Janet at speakerchair.portperryprobus@gmail.com
