+Emcee script
+============
+
+Based on the [WTD Bay Area emcee script](https://github.com/San-Francisco-Write-The-Docs/meetups/blob/master/planning/emcee%20script.md),
+this is a general outline of the emcee script for use in virtual meetups. Each
+emcee should feel free to customize the script and rely on it only as needed to
+keep things natural without missing key info.
+
+See also: [Meeting agenda (detailed)](meeting-agenda-detailed.md).
+
+
+## Before the meetup starts

+During social networking time:
+

+  if they'll be ready in advance).

+- Check with other organizers whetheer there are any announcements.
