President’s Message

 

June 2021

How quickly this year has gone. When we started with our meetings in the fall with the new virtual format, there were so many unknowns and there still are! The question most frequently asked is “When will be able to get together again for our in person meetings? Boy, would I ever like to have an answer for that one. Our executive held a meeting at the end of May, and agreed that in order for us to resume in person meetings, we are going to have meet the requirements of the government, health department, church and insurance company before safely meeting again. We will monitor this situation and plan our speakers accordingly.

As the weather has improved, although it has been somewhat of a roller coaster the last few weeks, with many of us tempted to put the furnace on for a few days and then the air conditioner the following weekend. The days are definitely getting longer providing us with lots of opportunities to get outside, so let’s enjoy our Canadian summer.

In closing, I want to thank all of our members who log in to our virtual meetings and also to the members who have supported our Comfort Quilts program in their overwhelmingly successful year.

 Janice Haluszka, president
