So far we covered: viruses, spring flowers, and now working on birdwatching from our window. 00:40:07 Vicki Sheeler: We’ve done LEGO challenges and cook-a-longs 00:40:11 Keva Turner: Yes, a storytime. 00:40:12 Marie Davidsohn: I've done cooking videos, Make a Mess (a messy activity such as playdough or slime making), scavenger hunts and storytimes. 00:40:18 Jacqueline Lockwood: Ran a rocket launch watch party yesterday.

What happens when your mixed bin contains items not recyclable? 00:41:22 Marie Davidsohn: We are doing a big renovation starting in July, so this will be our main way of doing programming. 00:41:23 Amanda Margis: My library is planning entirely virtual programs through early fall. 00:41:42 Heather Baker: Amanda, so is mine. 00:41:48 Sarah Vander: Virtual trivia night coming soon at our library! 00:41:49 Heather Inczauskis: Susan, can you post a link for your nature stuff? 00:41:55 Luna Dara Kelondra: The nature notebook sounds great! 00:41:59 Maureen Herman: Our summer reading program will be all virtual.

We're exploring our options and what we can do. 00:45:26 Jennifer Dye: Local astronomy clubs are arranging some online presentations. 00:45:26 Amy DeNisco: TBD? I don't know yet 00:45:28 Amanda Margis: We're planning a hybrid for our weekly STEM program. Have a prerecorded video go up on Monday and then a live show-n-tell video on Friday 00:45:37 Terra McLeod: both and virtual passive programs like escape rooms 00:45:38 Donna Comstock-Herman: will you be saving the chat so we get all these ideas? 00:45:47 Leah Strichartz: Unhangouts from MIT is another platform folks might want to consider. It’s really good for small group collaboration in break out rooms https://unhangout.media.mit.edu/ 00:46:09 Barbara Gerhard: https://bit.ly/2XtuHl6 00:46:17 Brittany Nimon: I’ve seen a few places do scavenger hunts and trivia on FB live and Instagram live, where the first correct response gets their name added to a hat. Winners get chosen at the end 00:46:32 Frank Skornia: Was talking about that with our youth librarians last week-I think people, especially kids who are doing school, are getting screen fatigue 00:46:32 Kate Enge: I choose other, because I'm not sure what we're going to do. We tried recording some videos and it took a lot of work and not a lot of people watched them. 00:46:37 Jacqueline Lockwood: One big program for the summer for me. Teen Creative Society. Weekly. on Zoom. Collaborating with other librarians to run it. 00:46:40 Terra McLeod: Kahoots has worked for teens 00:46:40 Ann Larson: I'm woried about tech burnout too. My number have dropped for Facebook live. Any suggestions would be helpful... 00:46:44 Jennifer Dye: Want to do some other STEM programs, and some Media Literacy. 00:47:22 Cathy Kyle: is there a way to have access to the chat lots of great ideas 00:47:24 Susan Rolfsmeier: We are thinking about dropping little kits to avoid tech burnout issues 00:47:25 Vickie Weyand: Our live programs will be registered programs where we email the Zoom link along with blog "watch when you can and comment" entries 00:47:45 Amanda Margis: We still do a registration for our prerecorded videos and then send the link out at the same time. it still lets people watch when it's convinient 00:47:56 Keliann LaConte: How is it going for you all in getting feedback/input from your audiences? 00:48:00 Gloria-Anne Bartas: Keep programs short. 00:48:01 Kimberly Daufeldt: I'm trying to plan some Zoom programs that include take and make kits to pick up beforehand. 00:48:35 Terra McLeod: We're doing Take & Make as well for all ages. 00:49:22 Katie Park: we are using online activities that we found and posting them on our summer reading site. they were chosen by how easy it would be for the parents to teach. 00:49:33 Maureen Herman: IG Live 00:49:47 Frank Skornia: Discord, though not for the library yet 00:49:52 Maureen Herman: teens 00:49:55 Vickie Weyand: We have a business account for our actual program but our own free account to "learn and play" 00:49:58 Leah Strichartz: Twitch? Haven’t tried it myself though. 00:50:00 Brittany Nimon: We try to incorporate physical elements to our virtual programs, recipes that people can follow, crafts with supplies people are likely to have at home. Our summer challenge we are doing take and make crafts for teens with videos for teens to watch as well as printed instructions for people who don’t have tech access. 00:50:09 Marie Davidsohn: I'm recording all my videos and editing on either video editor on my computer or an adobe product 00:50:11 Susan Rolfsmeier: For pre-recorded just posting to Facebook and YouTube, otherwise Facebook Live for story time 00:50:15 Sylvie Merlier-Rowen: Blackboard 00:50:20 Amy Martin: Oh! I've used Roll20.net for our gaming club 00:50:23 Liesl Seborg: we're using Discord for teens/tweens and a D&D campaign 00:50:27 Lauren Decker: I haven't figured out how to get evaluations from virtual programming, Kelliann. 00:50:48 Laura Schmitz: Is there an age limit for Discord? 00:50:56 Keva Turner: Most programs have been pre-recorded and posted to social media. In the future we plan to use WebEx 00:51:03 Laura Schmitz: I saw that it was 13 up 00:51:18 Cathy Kyle: these are such great ideas! please have a way to share them! 00:51:21 Frank Skornia: For evaluations: If you're not using Project Outcome from PLA yet, now is a really good time to check it out. 00:51:23 Amanda Margis: since we're still doing registrations for our virtual programs, we're collecting emails and sending out a google form to get feedback 00:51:43 Katie Park: we're using beanstack this summer 00:52:16 Liesl Seborg: Since we can't control the "real age" of folks accessing Discord, we indicate the program as designed for teens or everyone 00:52:16 Ann Larson: Doing multiple radio programs for Summer Reading. 00:52:20 Susan Rolfsmeier: Oh it is an issue in our area. I have no idea how to do the dial in numbers 00:52:39 Laura Schmitz: thanks Liesel 00:53:00 Katie Park: we have 80 % of our population with no internet access 00:53:01 Barbara Gerhard: Suggestions for these types of programs/ 00:53:05 Heather Baker: Zoom - it requires a paid subscription for phone access. 00:53:06 Luna Dara Kelondra: Some people may not have internet access, or may not be on the various social media like Facebook, instagram, etc. 00:53:12 Heather Baker: Our State Library has helped us with that. 00:53:23 Jessica Hopkins: No Phone Programs 00:53:31 Kate Enge: My hometown of Petersburg is doing programs (like storytime) on the local radio 00:53:39 Karen Burdnell: children's story. But it is short. 00:53:53 Keliann LaConte: ^ Kate, any chance that STEAM will be part of radio storytimes? 00:54:05 Barbara Gerhard: Poetry reads? 00:54:08 Katie Park: our local radio station does a storytime 00:54:10 Vickie Weyand: Not as yet but heard people of Alaska are doing storytimes over the radio too 00:54:11 Liesl Seborg: book discussions could be done by phone. we have a phone in option with WebEx 00:54:14 Heather Patrick: Talking to seniors who are lonely. 00:54:18 Luna Dara Kelondra: There used to be a telephone storytime in my area years ago that was changed every month or so. 00:54:24 Amanda Margis: We use Ring Central which is powered by Zoom and it does give patrons a number they can call in but no exclusive phone programs 00:54:45 Maureen Herman: there are privacy concerns with calling patrons 00:55:09 Keliann LaConte: Has anyone had success with the dial in option that comes with paid Zoom/WebEx/etc.? 00:55:18 Heather Baker: I 00:55:27 Liesl Seborg: Keliann--the dial in option works well in WebEx 00:55:36 Heather Baker: I've used it successfully, but as a USER not as host. 00:55:45 Laura Schmitz: My system is using zoom dial in for remote reference 00:56:03 Denise Lovse: yes it is successful. 00:56:08 Karen Burdnell: Dial-in has helped with our church services. Many of our seniors need that. 00:56:33 Keliann LaConte: ...any tips for how to promote the phone number to those without internet? 00:56:54 Heather Inczauskis: Flyers around town? 00:56:57 Liesl Seborg: newspaper promo. ? 00:56:58 Laura Schmitz: newspaper or radio 00:56:58 Samantha Rogers: Local paper 00:57:01 Heather Inczauskis: radio 00:57:06 Heather Baker: We've started curbside pickup, we are adding flyers to the bags at the curb. 00:57:08 Karen Goorhouse: Phone text 00:57:09 Maureen Herman: If nothing else this pandemic REALLY exposed the digital divide 00:57:11 Brittany Nimon: We are doing curbside pick up and putting flyers in the books that check out 00:57:15 Barbara Gerhard: The phone messages could include upcoming events 00:57:16 Crystal Jolly: text 00:57:17 Vickie Weyand: newspaper or radio contact 00:57:19 Amy DeNisco: Mention it in your phone greeting? 00:57:23 Liesl Seborg: curbside flyers-great idea! 00:57:33 Keliann LaConte: ^ Maureen, you're right! 00:57:40 Laura Schmitz: love that idea too! 00:57:41 Heather Inczauskis: if schools are doing lunch pickups, you can ask to staple flyers on the lunch bag 00:57:56 Barbara Gerhard: Great idea heather 00:59:39 Heather Baker: We have a weekly food delivery for seniors through our social services office, we are also adding flyers and materials to those deliveries if they want them. 01:00:43 Keliann LaConte: Speaking of that webinar with the very busy chat discussion... you can download and mine the chat archive from our webinars at http://www.starnetlibraries.org/resources/webinars/ 01:01:04 Barbara Gerhard: four weeks 01:01:05 Jessica Hopkins: 1 month 01:01:07 Heather Inczauskis: a month 01:01:08 Vickie Weyand: Programs are on our calendar now but registration opens 2 weeks before. Online programs usually 30 minutes. 01:01:10 Susan Jelic: 2 weeks 01:01:11 Jacqueline Lockwood: Pre-COVID we had to set details and promote 2 months before the program, and now it is as soon as you can think of it and set things up! 01:01:11 Susan Rolfsmeier: It depends but about 3 weeks 01:01:12 Maggie Forrest: 4 weeks 01:01:12 Chantel McGee: About a month 01:01:13 Maureen Herman: about a month 01:01:13 Denise Lovse: a month 01:01:14 Liesl Seborg: 1-2 months 01:01:14 Frank Skornia: Shorter programs are good as people are having to schedule programs they want to attend in between other members of their household. 01:01:15 Mechelle Bernard: 3-6 month 01:01:16 Samantha Rogers: 2 weeks- month 01:01:17 Liz Clauder: depends on the type of promotion 01:01:18 Katie Park: month 01:01:18 Andrew Gerber: a month 01:01:18 Karen Goorhouse: 4 months 01:01:18 Amanda Margis: two-three months 01:01:18 Laura Schmitz: 3 months 01:01:19 Keva Turner: 1-2 months 01:01:19 Jennifer Dye: Usually about a month 01:01:20 Kimberly Daufeldt: 2 weeks for regular sotyrimes, 3-4 for other stuff 01:01:20 Heather Baker: In person programs - 6 weeks to 2 months 01:01:22 Anna Barlow: a few months 01:01:25 Donna Comstock-Herman: 2-3 months on printed calendar 01:01:27 Lindsay Gojcaj: at least 1 month 01:01:29 Lauren Decker: We used to put out a calendar every 3 months. 01:01:29 Karen Burdnell: 3 months 01:01:30 Ann Larson: 3 month for somw promo, but hard hit one month. 01:01:32 Amy DeNisco: Marketing was submitted about 3 months out, but flyers went out about 1 month ahead 01:01:34 Heather Patrick: 3 months 01:01:35 Laura Schmitz: sign up 2 weeks prior 01:01:37 Barbara Gerhard: changes? Seems like a really short timeline 01:01:39 Liesl Seborg: shortens 01:01:40 Susan Rolfsmeier: I think less time 01:01:40 Denise Lovse: shorten 01:01:42 Jacqueline Lockwood: Less time 01:01:43 Karen Burdnell: shorten, definitely 01:01:44 Lauren Decker: shorten 01:01:44 Andrew Gerber: shorten 01:01:46 Brittany Nimon: 1-3 months. We have programming sessions of 10-11 weeks 01:01:47 Heather Patrick: cshorten 01:01:51 Maggie Forrest: Less time 01:01:52 Jessica Hopkins: need to do stuff asap 01:01:52 Linda Vinnedge: shorten 01:01:52 Brittany Nimon: shorten 01:01:53 Amanda Margis: we've cut that back to only a month with virtual to allow us to be more flexible 01:01:53 Laura Schmitz: shorten 01:01:56 Vickie Weyand: Ours staying the same but program shorter. 01:01:57 Maureen Herman: shorten 01:01:59 Heather Baker: Virtual - we've done a month at a time. 01:02:00 Karen Goorhouse: I would shorten it but our library is still 4 months 01:02:06 Barbara Gerhard: still figuring out the sweet spot for virtual promotion 01:02:18 Katie Park: shorten 01:02:24 Laura Schmitz: promotion is ongoing 01:02:32 Heather Baker: And we actively re-promote a day ahead. 01:02:51 Jennifer Dye: Definitely re-promote 01:03:14 Frank Skornia: Getting the 1 day reminder only an hour after registering yesterday made me laugh 01:03:21 Susan Rolfsmeier: We are a little more spontaneous and have been offering things like an overview of what we are doing at the library, but weekly storytime is consistent. So we don't promote too much right now. 01:03:36 Caroline Landry: Yes we are doing things day to day here.. 01:03:41 Donna Comstock-Herman: Consistency is important 01:03:47 Vickie Weyand: I struggle with how to do the Zoom meeting...with my laptop, phone, iPad? 01:03:57 Keliann LaConte: ^ Susan, does the consistency of storytime help keep attendance numbers up...? 01:04:08 Heather Baker: I often promote the book covers instead of the original "sign" on the re-promotion. 01:04:11 Jacqueline Lockwood: I set up a second monitor to help me host Zoom programs 01:04:47 Heather Baker: I think the consistency helps a LOT. We stayed as much as we could with our in-house schedule. We are starting to see screen burnout now. 01:05:20 Lauren Decker: Second that Heather. 01:05:23 Ann Larson: For my LEGO Club i start with about half a dozen riddles.... 01:05:36 Keliann LaConte: ^ Ann, I love the riddles idea! 01:05:42 Laura Schmitz: like that! 01:06:19 Karen Burdnell: I love these polls. I was going to ask you about yours. 01:06:23 Heather Baker: Oh, except for PJ Storytime. Not seeing the burnout there. 01:06:25 Marie Davidsohn: For those of you doing LEGO club online, can you tell me more about how you are doing this? What's the content? 01:06:42 Keliann LaConte: Heather, what's your secret with PJ storytime? 01:06:46 Claire Ratcliffe: Polls are a great feature of the Zoom webinar function 01:06:58 Keliann LaConte: Luna, great idea! 01:07:03 Donna Comstock-Herman: Brain burn-out when you get all the content at once 01:07:10 Maureen Herman: I am getting ready to launch our LEGO challenge too. Trying to wait until school ends in 3 weeks bc then the kids will REALLY have nothing to do 01:07:17 Heather Baker: My daughter is an amazing singer, and I tell the stories and she sings. And the regular watchers have been able to request themes. 01:07:30 Ann Larson: I start with the riddles and then I read a short picture book and ask them to build something from the story. I also show them what I built. 01:07:45 Heather Baker: I think, though, that early evening, quieting down, is a better time for a lot of families. 01:07:46 Frank Skornia: What about virtual whiteboards? I keep seeing that Zoom has a whiteboard function, but I've never seen anyone use it 01:07:53 Marie Davidsohn: I've been doing fun things during storytimes, wearing fun socks or a silly hat. During my cooking programs, I talk silly and make comments about my day and talk as if they are actually in my home. These are for kids. 01:07:54 Jessica Hopkins: I have enjoyed the polling element of this webinar. My first with Starnet =) 01:07:55 Jacqueline Lockwood: I like sharing a variety of images and online video 01:07:58 Ann Larson: What do other LEGO Clubs do for virtual programming. 01:08:42 Heather Baker: Marie, that sounds like a ton of fun. 01:08:44 Claire Ratcliffe: https://stormboard.com/ - virtual whiteboards 01:08:58 Keliann LaConte: ** Brooks tip: have a backup plan if you want to play a video clip 01:09:04 Luna Dara Kelondra: Has anyone had issues with the Zoom hacking? 01:09:25 Heather Baker: I have not had Zoom hacking, but have colleagues at nearby libraries that have had issues. 01:09:33 Jacqueline Lockwood: That's a good idea Brooks. And with video I've found sharing it in Advanced mode (specific screen area option) bumps up the quality for attendees. 01:09:34 Terra McLeod: We have registration required as well 01:09:43 Maureen Herman: No zoom hacking for us but we always have a 'waiting room' enabled 01:09:47 Brooks Mitchell: Yes!! great point, Jacqueline 01:09:51 Keliann LaConte: Jennifer, you bring up a good point. It's important to give people time to respond (which feels dead from the presenter's perspective) 01:09:53 Amy DeNisco: In person I used to put the kids' lego creations in the branch, but it would be fun if they submitted photos so that we could share them on social media. 01:09:57 Donna Comstock-Herman: We have to be let into the meeting for our Zoom staf meetings 01:10:01 Luna Dara Kelondra: Yeah, they've been working hard to get ahead of that. 01:10:01 Crystal Jolly: Oh I like the password option. 01:10:07 Heather Baker: We post the info and the password right before, we have the waiting room enabled, and you can choose to attend on Facebook live if you don't want to interact. 01:10:07 Vicki Sheeler: I have a waiting room and admit people individually. If I don’t recognize them, they wouldn’t get in. 01:10:14 Heather Baker: Like today on YouTube. 01:10:18 Mary Beth Reasoner: Not only have registration, but also a Waiting Room which the Host then allows each person to enter. 01:10:42 Heather Baker: We have a second person act as "producer" so that the presenter isn't trying to do everything at once. 01:11:02 Keliann LaConte: ! I'd better behave ! 01:11:06 Leah Strichartz: Another fun addition to webinars that I’ve seen is https://www.menti.com/ 01:11:17 Mary Beth Reasoner: That way you can see a name that is not on the Registration List and not let them enter. 01:11:33 Amanda Margis: Agree with Heather, we have two staff for live virtual programs and sometimes IT on hand to help troubleshoot, especially if we're working with presenters outside our library 01:12:12 Jessica Hopkins: LOL 01:12:16 Donna Comstock-Herman: Death by powerpoint deals with this issue and is funny though true 01:12:21 Frank Skornia: :-D 01:12:51 Donna Comstock-Herman: You tube video 01:12:55 Maureen Herman: we have quite a few older library employees who are resistant to technology and it gets to be somewhat frustrating 01:13:07 Vickie Weyand: for my younger patron programs, I keep slides to just pictures and have my bullet point to speak to them. 01:13:09 Amanda Margis: Heather, how do you stream stuff over FB Live and a webinar? Interesting solution I've never thought about before... 01:13:34 Heather Baker: A lot of our staff are so stressed about video. It helped that we HAD to do it, and now we are trying to mentor others through it. 01:13:55 Heather Baker: We use 2 ipads, and stream on Facebook Live and Zoom simultaneously. 01:14:06 Heather Baker: It's been working well. 01:14:08 Amanda Margis: AHH!!! So clever!!! 01:14:47 Heather Baker: I have a musician friend who added a phone to his two iPads and added IGTV. 01:15:01 Amy Martin: Hello! 01:15:03 Heather Baker: We do line up the cameras on the iPads. 01:15:05 Donna Comstock-Herman: Hi and thanks 01:15:09 Jennifer Dye: Hello! 01:15:12 Laura Schmitz: Hi! 01:15:15 Karen Burdnell: hi, 01:15:17 Barbara Gerhard: where do I find a good setup with the technology? 01:15:20 Jessica Hopkins: Hello All who made this happen1 01:15:27 Katie Park: thank you!!! 01:15:32 Keliann LaConte: :) hi all 01:16:00 Frank Skornia: You can use a service like https://restream.io/ to stream to multiple platforms 01:16:17 Maureen Herman: this is a problem we're running in to - assumption that person running program can do it all 01:16:18 Keliann LaConte: How are you doing, Jennifer? Surviving ok? 01:16:27 Heather Baker: Frank, does it reduce the caliber of the presentation? 01:16:30 Luna Dara Kelondra: Has to be a team affair. I'm just taking notes and I'm behind. 😃 01:17:16 Heather Baker: I find the sound and video quality are higher on Facebook Live than Zoom, but much lower interactivity on FB Live. 01:17:18 Frank Skornia: When I was doing live streamed technology instruction on YouTube, I managed it alone, but I've been personally doing live streaming for a couple of years, so I felt I could handle the tech, chat, and instruction, but it takes practice 01:17:22 Keliann LaConte: It's surreal, but doing ok! 01:18:14 Heather Baker: Webcams are SO hard to buy right now! 01:18:37 Leah Strichartz: Could you use your phone as a second camera on zoom? 01:19:11 Heather Baker: an iPhone? You can try it, if it is newer, it should work. Not sure about audio quality. 01:19:19 Andrew Gerber: Is "clutch" good or bad? 01:19:21 Marie Davidsohn: I alternate between my computer and phone. I've had no issues. 01:19:22 Frank Skornia: @Heather I haven't used it, just know about it 01:19:45 Vicki Sheeler: Clutch is good :) 01:19:48 Heather Caldwell: I've used an ipad as second camera on Zoom, but had audio feedback. 01:20:04 Heather Baker: I've had a number of colleagues use iPhones to prerecord stories, and it has worked. The quality is quite good. 01:20:44 Frank Skornia: If you're going to use a tablet or phone as a second camera, make sure you mute the audio and mic on the device 01:20:46 Marie Davidsohn: If you make a mistake, it only shows you are human. 01:20:57 Heather Baker: I agree about the script! It makes you look away from the camera in a weird way. 01:21:29 Luna Dara Kelondra: Well that's the same as programs in the library 01:21:35 Heather Baker: YES. I have toddlers in programs, and they know we are REAL because we make mistakes and interact with them. 01:22:10 Heather Baker: Telling a little one to stop sticking out their tongue really brings everyone back to the screen ;) 01:22:14 Jacqueline Lockwood: Experiencing this from the attendee side has been REALLY helpful to see how the interface looks. 01:22:39 Frank Skornia: It takes work, but do not get flustered with tech issues. The best thing to do is get comfortable with your tech set up before you do anything. If you can, try to understand why you do each of the set up steps, instead of blindly following instructions or doing things by rote 01:23:02 Katie Park: have fun, it's contagious. writing it out allows me to remember everything. don't read word for word. make it feel natural 01:23:11 Luna Dara Kelondra: That's funny, Heather. 01:23:26 Heather Baker: I also find I can launch my zoom presentation a while before the program begins, I've never been cut off. 01:23:28 Maureen Herman: Convincing attendees to 'MUTE' is usually a challenge lol 01:23:47 Heather Baker: So we can test things and make sure our "set" and camera angles work. 01:23:53 Donna Comstock-Herman: I know I prefer the interactive webinars as opposed to just presenting me content (sit and listen) 01:23:58 Jennifer Beach: It is the same in live programming. Things go wrong. Kids think it's funny, adults admire your ability to continue. ;) 01:24:06 Heather Baker: Your assistant can mute everyone, it's why they are so important! 01:24:08 Jennifer Beach: Hi Luna!! 01:24:13 Greg Mosshammer: http://www.starnetlibraries.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/STARNet-Webinar-Certificate-052820.pdf 01:24:14 Vicki Sheeler: Thank you! 01:24:15 Barbara Gerhard: Thank you for this!! 01:24:15 Laura Saloiye: Thank you 01:24:19 Ann Larson: Thank you all for all the information! 01:24:20 Andrew Gerber: Thanks!

Another webinar in the summer would be helpful, yes. 01:24:34 Katie Park: this was amazing. thank you 01:24:35 David Stokes: Thank you. 01:24:35 Lauren Decker: Great program! 01:24:36 Leah Strichartz: Thanks! 01:24:37 Jennifer Dye: Another session would be great. Thanks! 01:24:37 Laura Schmitz: Thank you, this was great! 01:24:38 Maureen Herman: I would attend another session. Great interactive feedback 01:24:39 Amy DeNisco: Thank you! 01:24:39 Heather Baker: Thank you, this was SO helpful. 01:24:47 Luna Dara Kelondra: That makes for great stories and memories. You wouldn't remember a meeting that went percectly. 01:24:52 Caroline Landry: Thanks.. it was great to connect again and great advice!! 01:25:03 Amy Martin: Thank you! 01:25:04 Keliann LaConte: Take care, all! 01:25:05 Samantha Rogers: Thank you! 01:25:15 Ester Johannesen: Thank you. Very interesting. Don't know much about virtual programming and this has really given me lots of ideas 01:25:19 Jennifer Beach: Stay safe and healthy, everyone! 01:25:23 Keva Turner: Thank you! 01:25:28 Vickie Weyand: Thanks! ..I will check that out!
