From our President
It was our hope that we would be able to return to in person meetings in September. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be able to take place as the virus is again raising its ugly head. Those who have attended the zoom meetings seem to have really enjoyed the discussions and camaraderie of socializing with each other. However, the exec board has a concern that the number of people joining in is very limited. Isolation and the pandemic have had a very negative effect on all of our lives and continues to do so. Our membership, prior to covid, had declined over the past four to five years and with the limited participation in the zoom meetings, the board is concerned that the membership number has actually continued to drop even further.
In addition, the newsletter that takes Carol up to two weeks to prepare and send, rarely receives feedback or input from members on content to include in it (except from those few who also attend the zoom meetings, for which we are always grateful.
Therefore, the exec board after careful deliberation have agreed to offer zoom and a newsletter for Sept-Nov inclusive. If participation. n does not improve for either, we feel that we will have to make a hard and difficult decision regarding the future of the guild. This is not intended to be a threat but a mere statement of the situation.
Again, we invite anyone who wishes to join in zoom who feels unsure of how, to contact Linda and she will happily assist you.
Additionally, until a decision is made, membership is closed.
Yours truly and warm regards,
Nancy
We regret that until further notice membership is closed
