There will be 5 SSA volunteers on the call, including myself.

Send a request to scott.e.turnbull@gmail.com to get the Zoom link.

We're trying to keep the link off the general public threads to help cut down on zoom-bombing.

I've also asked Paul to send the link out in an e-mail to the VAS membership.
