more than ever. Since we can’t go out to mingle, virtual
happy hours have been
born!
What is a virtual
happy hour, you may
ask … a designated host,
chooses a platform such
as Zoom, Facebook,
Google Hangout, Skype
etc. … and creates an
invitee list.
All that is left is to
pick a time and send out
invitations to the group
to instruct them on how
and when to log in.
Since our vibe is wine, I am creating a happy hour
with a red wine theme.
I am asking everyone to bring their favorite red
and some hors d’oeuvre to the happy hour. During the
event, I will have each person tell us about their wine
and give us the tasting notes.
To keep the group manageable I recommend no more
than 8 to 10 people so that everyone can interact. Larger
groups can make it difficult to follow conversations.
To make the process smoother, send an email with
instructions on how to log into the meeting along
with some basic guidelines. Have everyone keep their
microphone on mute until they wish to talk. Have the
host guide the event so that everyone feels included.
Physical distancing does not need to mean we
have to forego some of our favorite activities. We are
creating new norms!
We are all in this together! Let’s hang out, drink
wine and connect … in a new way.
~Keep the conversation going and the wine flowing
~Cheers
