From your president, I would like to take this opportunity to give a huge “Hello!” to you all. It has been quite some time since we have all been together and perhaps it will be a bit longer.
I miss all your smiling faces and hope you are all doing well and catching up on things we have put aside for later. Well, later is here!
I just want to update you on a few things.
All trips that were scheduled through Shirley Slingerland are cancelled and you should be looking for refunds as soon as she receives the money.
Our meetings will resume when we get the go-ahead. I have notified all guest speakers that we will reschedule. I have some fun things for us to do when we once meet again — you know we like surprises!
If there are any seniors who need assistance or if you hear of anyone who has a special need, call your town supervisor, call me at 518-779-5111, or call your neighbor.
We are all here to help each other during this pandemic. If you do not feel well, call 9-1-1.
Yes, we are all in this together and we will make it through, together!
