The only time you need a full subscription of Zion is if you are hosting a meeting. Before I signed up, I didn’t have an account and I was attending a bunch of Zoom meetings. Hope that helps. Jen

Dona can you send me the info for the webinar?

Sure, Kelly!? I’m copying the announcement below.? I’m REALLY excited because Monday I’ll use the APH program to remotely teach a new client some advanced concepts and skills for uncontrolled crossings.? Tomorrow I go look at the crossing he has been dealing with and if it looks like a suitable site, he and his wife will go there later and measure his crossing time so he can begin the training remotely Monday.? He’s a pioneer, and agreed to come to the webinar Wednesday and demonstrate how we do it, and explain what the process was like from his perspective.? Cross your fingers that it goes well!
