We find ourselves in challenging times - times of exercising 'an abundance of caution', practicing 'social distancing' and ’self-isolating’ - words that have now become part of our daily vocabulary. Like everyone else, we are making the responsible and necessary adjustments to our plans in light of COVID-19. As part of those adjustments, our April 6th General Meeting (Resolutions) and AGM were cancelled. The April 16th Card Night is postponed until we are able to make plans for a new date. Our May Lunch is now Cancelled/Postponed with alternate plans still being considered. Many of our plans are in 'wait and see' mode as we are all uncertain when things will get back to some normalcy, whatever the new normal will be. Interest Groups have alll made responsible decisions to suspend in- person social gatherings recognizing that many of our members are of the group most vulnerable. Our members are a group of resourceful women, and once again, we’ve shown the “Power of Women Working Together”, helping and supporting one another through these challenging times. Many groups are meeting virtually and finding ways of staying connected. You've shared stories of how you're coping during this crisis, and those stories are published in our latest Newsletter. Thanks for sharing your stories. One of my professional contacts posted recently that ‘social distancing’ should be more aptly treated as ‘physical distancing’ as there are still many ways to stay connected through emails and phones. Remember that 'social distancing' does not mean we can't stay connected. Stay well and let's keep each other connected while we take a pause out of being physically connected. Kyoko Kobayashi, Acting President & Past President |
