It's that time again! Let's all get together via the Internet and write some mail with one another, to one another, for one another! The Virtual Social will last the whole day of July 5th with a Live Video from the L.W.A. Clubhouse happening at 3pm CST. That's this Sunday. According to Kathy's time zone calculations*, this should be an hour when most of the world is awake, so hopefully most of our International members can join us for the video. Either way, you can participate all day long with #LWASocial on Twitter or Instagram.
Kathy built a page specifically for the Live Video Social that has the video, chat window, and the Instagram feed for#LWASocial all in one place. No more multiple windows open; just time to write, listen, and chat with your fellow members. If you can't join us for the Live Video, you can create your own Virtual Social by watching the recording on YouTube. Either way, we hope we can share a day of letter writing with you.
Remember, there are some free commemorative downloads for virtual socials (and other fun stationery too) in our Downloads section. Members have access to even more downloads. Be sure to log-in so you see the full roster of goodies. See you on the Internet!
* Kathy's Time Zone Calcualtions for the Live Video
We chose random cities that some of member's reside in to get a good spread of time differences. Please verify with your own time zone if your city isn't listed.
(NZDT) Aukland, New Zealand: Monday, Feb.9th at 10am
(MSK) Moscow, Russia: Midnight of Feb 8th (going to Monday the 9th)
(GMT) London, England: 9pm
(PST) Portland, OR, USA: 1pm
Looking forward to writing with you soon! ~Donovan & Kathy
Maybe you could add an event countdown timer

I haven't commented in the live chat but I've really enjoyed the last two virtual socials. The German post has been on strike for many weeks - it's for a good cause but oh, I miss my mail fix! - but I still have two unanswered letters to work on for Sunday. Much looking forward to the virtual social now! :D
By the way, London isn't actually on GMT in the summer, now it's BST British Summer Time, and that confused me a little when I tried to do the calculation for my own timezone. Maybe you already know it and don't use it because it's impractical for you in some way but in case you haven't seen it: there's this simple web tool that you can link to announce an event for all timezones simultaneously - http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html :-)
