Sierra Winds was again my first presentation for AZ this year. This is the first hybrid meeting the club has ever had. With the assistance from Nick, a resident Tech person, at the assisted living facility, everything went off without a hitch. It's a small club but we had good attendance. I expect next years presentation to be done via an in-person visit.
