October 7 DRCA meeting

 

The agenda for the virtual membership meeting on October 7 will include the biannual election of DRCA officers, a proposal for a sidewalk on the residential side of N. 26th Street between Wakefield and Vermont Streets, and a presentation from Samia Byrd, who was recently appointed to be the Deputy County Manager and Chief Race and Equity Officer for Arlington.

 

The weekend before the meeting, all Donaldson Run neighbors for whom we have valid email addresses, will be sent a link to attend the meeting via Microsoft Teams.  To join the meeting, click on that link at 7:30 pm on October 7. 

 

If you are not sure that DRCA has your email address, contact maxine@drca.org.  And if you do not receive a link to the meeting by October 5, send an email to anne@drca.org to get your email address added to the list.

 

Here is some information for those who may not be familiar with Teams meetings: 

Teams can be used on most devices including laptops (Mac or Windows), iPads and other mobile devices. That being said, it works best in a Windows environment, but it works well on other devices.  When you receive the link to join the meeting, you can click on it at any time before the meeting to look at the process for using Teams.  If you are new to Teams meetings, you should go ahead and click on the link to set up the interface in advance of the meeting.  Depending on the device you are using, you may be given the option of downloading the app or accessing Teams through your web browser.  For a more robust experience, you will want to download the app in advance of the meeting.  There are some additional settings you can set including selecting a background. 

 

If you want to try out Teams before the meeting, contact anne@drca.org for a brief test session.
