First and Fourth Sundays at 7 PM Central Time. Just let us know if you would like to participate.
The easiest and best way to learn together is in regular classes, but free on-line webinars are an increasingly close second. Participants "gather" on a given web page where they all see the same displays and hear the same presentation. Everybody has "chat" capabilities so that they can type in questions or comments.
The webinar program we Texans have been using offers free teleconferencing, but the number is long distance. Those who use the telephone can join the discussion by voice, but most people find the "chat" capability more than adequate. The main presenter uses VOIP, voice-over-internet-protocol, which is very clear over each participant's speakers or earphones. Sometimes, several people can use the VOIP after the main presentation is finished, but it is not always reliable for more than one person.
