CLUB MEETINGS
A message from club President Les
Hi All,
Well, given the worsening CoVid-19 situation and the Governor's move back to stage 2, we will NOT be having a club meeting on December 1st. And, it does not look promising for any meetings in the near future. Also, with the CoVid numbers so high the church board has decided to suspend all small group meetings at the church for the time being. I am exploring some options, ZOOM meetings for example.
Yes, we did have a November meeting with 8 or 9 members present. We wore masks and attempted to practice social distancing. The meeting went well; the folks that did attend were glad to be there. Since it had been 8 months since we had had a meeting, we did not follow our normal meeting procedure. We attended to some club business; e.g., election of officers and treasury review. The remainder of the meeting was spent with each member giving a brief summary of how they had been spending their time and what they had done with their collections (kinda a "what I did last summer" report) over the last 8 months. As each member related their activities and brought everyone up-to-date, several excellent philatelicly-related discussions ensued. The meeting lasted about an hour and a half. All-in-all, we had an excellent and enjoyable meeting.
