<div>The next SOS Collector's call is Tuesday, September 1st. These monthly calls are required for all seed collecting teams.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I heard a lot of positive feedback about using the Microsoft Teams platform, so going forward let's continue to use it. </div>
<div>You should all have the recurring meeting invitation now, but if not or if you are new, please email me at alindquist@blm.gov. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was able to set up a conference line for the Teams meetings, so if for some reason you cannot download the Teams app, you can just call into the meeting - but we will miss seeing your face :)</div>
<div>The phone number should be visible at the bottom of the invitation, along with the conference id # which will change every meeting. Again, please let me know if you need technical assistance with any of this - I'm always happy to help.</div>
