President's Message 

Good Day to all,

I had hoped that by early this month I might be able to give our members some better news; but due to the ongoing Covid 19 crisis it is necessary to again to cancel our May monthly meeting.

I’m sure we all have mixed feelings about the reality we are dealing with these days, and most of us are feeling more than a little cabin fevered and impatient to get life as we knew it started again. My gut feeling tells me that although it would be nice to get on with life, “an abundance of caution” is the prudent course.

Jack and I feel very fortunate to be able to get out and walk the local trails everyday with the dog which has certainly helped our mental well being and kept our spirits up. Signs of spring, although somewhat slow coming on, have been a nice break from the everyday indoor routines. Brantford has kept the trails open and accessible with signs posted at all intersections warning folks to mind the physical distancing rules, and by and large the folks we meet on the trails are very conscientious about following the rules...

I’d like to remind everyone to keep working on the blocks that Sue has been sending out, and your own UFO pile as you are able, and hopefully we will be able to have one heck of a “show and share” when we next meet in person. If you haven’t already done so, please check out our Facebook/ Instagram accounts to see what our members are accomplishing.

I know it’s sometimes difficult to keep the momentum going, and I personally thought this might be the cloud with a silver lining and the perfect time to get caught up...Lastly take some time to check in with each other as you are able, as I know from personal experience it really brightens the day to know someone thought of you and picked up the phone, sent a text message, or Face Timed you...fortunately we have many tools at our fingertips today to help us be in touch with our friends and loved ones.

I hope you all stay safe and healthy, and hope to see you all soon!

Alison, President
