Meeting Info

Schedule: Our monthly meetings (open to the public) are held the second Thursday of each month September through June, unless there is a conflict. Other meetings include the Computer User Group, Writers Group, and the How-To Class. These also meet monthly September to June but dates may vary.

Zoom: During COVID-19 restrictions, all meetings were held on Zoom. This worked so well that, we have now operate on a hybrid model as much as possile - offering meetings in person as well as online.


Attending a meeting on Zoom: An invitation is sent to current VBGS members about a week prior to a meeting (and to our non-member list a few days later for open meetings). Simply respond to the e-mail to reserve your spot. Zoom links are sent out the day of the meeting.
NEW! Members, hit the button at right for the Zoom link for small group meetings - Computer User Group, Writers Group, and the How-to class. (Password required)
