Friends: A couple of years ago the yahoo group had a live chat using PalTalk but it fizzeled. We are trying to revive the chat and here is an announcement about the chat and particulars from the Yahoo penturner's moderator. We are not trying to take away from the IAP chat sessions, but want to invite any penturner to take advantage of this chat time. We are planning to do a different time zone on alternate Wednesday evenings. Anyone may join any chat, but a rotation through the time zones will give everyone a chance to chat at a decent time once each month. Here are the particulars copied and pasted from the Yahoo site:

The Wednesday Night Chat is coming back!
It used to be a regular weekly event. Then it fell by the wayside because of scheduling problems and we never picked it up again. Well, we're about to give it another shot
The time will vary! We will alternate between time zones, to make it accessible to more folks. There will be a weekly announcement for the start time. This week, we will have a kick-off at 9 p.m. EDT. Pat Lawson may decide to open the room later that night for a better West coast time - she'll announce here if she does.
The chat we use is PalTAlk because it has a good voice feature. You do need to install some software - but it is free. (There is an add-free version available also for a price, but that is not necessary - up to you). The software can be downloaded at http://www.paltalk.com . You need to do that beforehand, and go
trough the audio wizard to make sure speakers and mike work. Headphones with an attached microphone don't seem to be necessary.
The chatroom won't be visible until a chat moderator opens it. I have Pat for the West Coast time chats, Don Ward for Texas (I mean Central Time I'll open for East Coast time chats, plus I have 2 more volunteers in Mountain Time zone that may or may not come through. To find the chat, log into paltalk at the right time, click on the search icon and search for group 'penturners'. Or in the menu: actions - search for a group.
We may occasionally have a set topic, this week we'll just try it. Talk pens In the future, if there are specific topics you want to discuss, drop me a note - we can try to line up some experts.

Hope this is of interest to some of you and hope you will join in if so interested. It is really neat to talk live and share.
Do a good turn daily!
