Before a meeting occurs: Handout(s) will be available to anyone who registers. They will be emailed to registrants along with a Zoom link before the meeting, if applicable, as inclusions to reminder emails. Prior to meetings, handouts are not typically available online. After a meeting occurs: The website saves the meeting's original announcement and associates it with the meeting's original date. Handout(s) can be accessed by going to the meeting's announcement and clicking on link(s) provided. If we recorded a meeting then you can access the recording in the same way as the handout(s) and same with chat. Please look for handouts, etc. a few days after the meeting. If the handout(s) and / or recording are available for only a limited time then there will be a note by the link(s) noting this. Access to these resources will be available to only members who are logged into the website. Also, the event's title will be modified slightly to tell you if handout(s) and/or recording are available --- look for [H], [R], or [H,R] before the event's name, respectively. How to locate a past meeting's handout(s) and recording: There are two ways to locate prior events. Both require you to log into the website and go to the JGSCO Events menu page. 1) There is long list of past events on the same web page as the current event and below it. 2) You can search by date using the Events calendar. Once on this page: On the right-hand side, select Switch to Calendar View You will be taken to the current month's view of JGSCO's calendar. At this point, you have three choices: a) selecting Switch to List View at right shows you a list of all events we could locate back to JGSCO's founding, or b) switch to Year view at left, which shows a list per month, or c) scroll through previous months' calendars to locate an event. [Personally, I prefer option b, but try all the options to see what works best for you.) Here is a sample event with handouts available:
