Hey Alex,
Welcome to the family! There’s a meeting here every night (in the chat room) at 7:30 Eastern Time. Just click on the date (monthly calendar) and click where it says Enter Meeting. All other times, the chat room is open (24/7) for sharing and support. Keep coming back. It works if you work it! 🙂
