Marcia, here’s the coolest tool: WorldTimeBuddy. I have a client with offices on 5 continents, including Australia. Whenever I schedule meetings with them I go to Time Buddy first. IT adjusts for weird changes, and IT knows what time it is everywhere. Best, you can see ALL times at once. http://www.worldtimebuddy.com > On Dec 6, 2016, at 4:53 PM, Marcia Yudkin <yudkinyudkin at yahoo.com> wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > I've been asked to suggest a time for a meeting with folks who are in time zone GMT +8.
