Announcing - A Family "Reunion" Conference Call - For Free and Just For Fun

Hi Everyone,

Dad and I decided it would be fun to have a family conference call, so we have scheduled it on Sunday November 25th at the following time (for any who want to participate):
Detroit, Hartford, Orlando - 7:00pm
Houston - 6:00pm
Salt Lake City - 5:00pm
Portland - 4:00pm
Joensuu - 2:00am (Monday)

All you need is an Internet connection, a microphone you can hook up to your computer, and be ready for a fun talk with each other.
Go to www.skype.com and get the free download - then either email me your Skype name, or post it as a comment to this blog entry. I will initiate the call with everyone.

I do this kind of a thing with my cross-cultural research team all of the time (which is 8 students from 8 countries) - and it works quite well, so I imagine it will be similar for us too.

Does that time work for you? It is flexible right now so you can suggest an alternative time. If you refer to the World Clock Meeting Planner - it might help)

Anything in particular you think it would be fun to talk about?
Perhaps everyone can simply take a few minutes to talk and share something new they have been up to and how things are going?

It sounds wonderful~ I just hope I can find a microphone and enough space on the computer to do the download. Will we have to be on the internet and at the skype site to participate?

Yes, you will need to be online and have Skype open. It shouldn't take much room on your computer to do the download. And you can follow the simple easy instructions to chose a user name, etc... Feel free to email me with any questions.
