                                                   Southern Oregon Area Local

                                      APWU #342


                                                                 Due to the Covid-19 social distancing and orders limiting group meetings, the
                                                                 SOAL will be conducting monthly meetings online using the Microsoft Teams
                                                                 Web Conferencing Meeting Platform. It is similar to using Zoom, but also has
                                                                 online cloud sharing applications that allow participants to view documents
                                                                 on the screen with other remote viewers.

                                                                 We did try having a few meetings in 2020 at the Co-Work Collective during
                                                                 the Covid-19 restrictions, which was difficult. Changes will be updated as
                                                                 each month's meeting is planned. More information is available in the Events
                                                                 tab of the website.

                                                                 Prior to 2020, we had been having our local's General Membership Meetings
                                                                 at the Round Table Pizza restaurant in Medford for several years.
                                                                 Unfortunately, they are not permitting meetings at this time. When we did
                                                                 have the meetings there, we reserved the private party room and members
                                                                 and their families were invited to the meeting. Hopefully soon, we may be
                                                                 able to return to in person meetings again.

                                                                 The local also had a Postal Pulse drawing each quarter. We will try to revamp
                                                                 the drawing again soon if we can do so remotely using the web conferencing
                                                                 meeting platform. Go ahead and continue to turn your Postal Pulse survey
                                                                 forms into a steward and meet us online through the Microsoft Teams
                                                                 meeting! Once we get it restarted, the drawing works like this: If your name is
                                                                 drawn you win $100 if you are present at the meeting. If your not present, you
                                                                 still win $50.

                                                                 The meetings usually last about 1 to 2 hours.
