If you are interested in possibly attending this online Virtual Meal, register your interest by filling out the form below. I will follow-up to figure out scheduling and availability in due time.
There are NO GUARANTEES that everyone who signs up will be able to attend or invited to specific events due to possible scheduling, demand, and availability. Each Teledining date will be a size of 7-8 diners (including myself as the host) to allow everyone to have a voice at the Virtual Table. Each Teledining date will be planned for 45-minutes to 1-hour. I will do my best to make the connections happen, but again I can't promise that we will be able to have everyone attend. Also, there's nothing stopping you as well to go ahead and do your own virtual meals with others.
Date: To Be Determined
Time: To Be Determined
Technical Requirements: Computer, Laptop, Tablet, or Smartphone - Your device will require a video camera and a microphone (which mostly all modern devices already have). Everyone attending will be sharing their video and audio.
Software Platform: Zoom Video Conferencing (Test if you can use Zoom at
https://zoom.us/test)
Strongly Suggested: As a common courtesy, we will be asking that Teledining Guests attend individually in a quiet setting or room with no background distractions (i.e. TV, music, other individuals talking in the background, etc.). There will be some exceptions where we will be fine with 2 guests attending (i.e. a Caregiver/Care Partner and the person they are caring for).
Participation Requirements: The intent of these social online meals is that we will have some people and friends already knowing each other, but we are also welcoming new friends to join. My ask for you to participate...
a) You come with an OPEN MIND with limited or no verbal judgment of other guests. As the host, I will have the right to remove any guest that is inappropriate or may cause noticeable concerns to other guests. I highly think this will never be an issue... just come with an open mind, supporting each other, and enjoying your time.
b) You are asked to bring either a meal, a snack, a dessert, or a drink (water is fine) during the date. We'd like this to feel very relaxed and casual as though we are in a restaurant, at someone's dining table, on a couch or at a coffee shop.
c) We ask that you are willing to share and be part of the dining conversation. At the same time, we also will ask that you allow others time to share. Even though this is a social informal gathering, as the host I will set out some general communication guidelines to help make our time together a more fruitful experience.
Thanks for your interest. - Ron (host)
