Thanks to the Volunteers Who Made Our December Hybrid Meeting a Success — Plus Photos!

About 40 BAIPA members and friends gathered in person on December 7 at the Key Room in Novato for our second hybrid in-real-life/online meeting of 2024. There were another fifteen or so who joined us online. We could not have done it without the help of more than a dozen volunteers.

Thanks to Lynn Fraley, Tricia Sullivan, Pam Fenner, Carol Jacobson, Judy Baker, Steve Rustad, Becky Parker Geist, Christina Gerber, Bob Heyman, David Kudler, Charylu Roberts, Carolyn CJ Jones, Val Sherer, Carol Sheldon, Ruth Schwartz, and Sandra McGee.

Special thanks to Lynn Fraley for coordinating with the venue, Tricia Sullivan for helping me coordinate volunteers, Pam Fenner and Carol Jacobson for managing and troubleshooting zoom (which is more complicated when we’re also meeting in person), and Steve Rustad for taking photographs. And of course, Becky Parker Geist for being master of ceremonies.

Also, speaking for myself and others, it was great to see old friends and new in person.

Here are some of Steve’s photos from the meeting.
