President's Message

There is a chill in the night air and the leaves are turning. We need to enjoy this outside weather while we can. Time to enjoy the last of our gardens.


I am happy to report, we had a mostly successful Zoom meeting in October. We're all learning!

Our November Zoom meeting has a slight adjustment. The board will be meeting at 2pm, and the program will begin at 3pm. If you come in a little early, it is okay to catch the Board Meeting. We are hoping that with a 3pm start time, more "actives" will join us.

 

As we edge closer to Thanksgiving - dinner gatherings may be a little different. In person, or facetime, "We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives." - John F. Kennedy

 

Hope you'll join us November 9th and stay safe.
