President’s Letter: Closing Out 2020

November 3, 2020

Dear Members,

What a lovely autumn we have been enjoying, gratefully the rain dances worked!

By shuttering our Rocky Hill office, we will realize a savings of approximately $850.00 per month. Unfortunately, offsetting that savings, we have a new expense of $300-500 monthly for bookkeeping services. The Board of Directors will vote on which firm to choose at the November Board Meeting.

I hope you have enjoyed the online speaker programs these last two months. I certainly appreciate the up-front view of the photos that our speakers have been sharing. If you need help getting hooked up to ZOOM please contact Mary Anna at [email protected] and she will forward the information to me and/or James Milne who is our tech support guru.

I’ve been in touch with the Education Committee and currently all programs remain on hold until the spring when they will reassess the “Covid-19” risk.

Please keep an eye out for our emails on our next eBay auction/fund raiser for our Scholarship Fund. This sale will be gift themed for the upcoming holidays. I look forward to our November 12th speaker Ellen Ecker Ogden. Our next Newsletter comes out in January. Until then, may you and your loved ones be blessed with a healthy holiday season.
