NCBS Acquires Zoom Capability For Online Meetings and Future Uses

The Northern California Bluegrass Society has acquired Zoom online capability. The software subscription will allow meetings and other future uses when in-person gatherings cannot take place. NCBS Treasurer Bruce Edmundson will be the Zoom-meister for the organization.

The Society continues to plan at least two in-person events for 2021 — the Santa Cruz Bluegrass Fair and the Good Old Fashioned Bluegrass Festival. The nature of these shows and the rest of the NCBS schedule for next year is dependent on developments with the Coronavirus. Zoom may play a role.
