With social distancing in place, the Tuesday/Thursday morning coffee group at Mayflower continues to meet. They no longer can gather in person and honor their motto: “Where two or more are gathered, Scott provides coffee!” (“Scott” is Scott Gruhn, Mayflower’s Director of Food Services.)
Nevertheless, the group can meet via Zoom®, a video conferencing application that allows multiple parties to connect on audio and video screen from various sites. As many as 12 participants of the Mayflower group have been on the screen with each other at the same time. This even includes a resident of the Mayflower Health Center who, with assistance from staff, can log into the conversation.
Bill Case hosted this meeting. Beryl Clotfelter shared the accompanying photo that includes, top left to right, Beryl, Bill, Bob Grey, Luther Erickson, Charlie Duke, Jack Mutti, Bill Pollak, Gene Wubbels, and Gene Rohr. Ironically, Bill lives across the hall from Luther.
In the segment shot on Tuesday, June 16th, Grinnell College Professor Emeritus in political science, Bob Grey, led a group discussion about a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Then, the coffeeites weighed in with questions, comments, and reflections. There was even some coffee-drinking, all of it home-brewed.
