Dear Members,

Charles Dickens famously began The Tale of Two Cities with “It was the best of times; it was the worst of times”.  Doesn’t that sound like 2020!  A year that began with such hope and promise has quickly morphed into one of the most challenging periods of our lifetimes. I hope and trust each of you and your families are safe, healthy, and navigating the complications, difficulties, and hardships brought about by the Coronavirus, social distancing, and most recently, social unrest. We are so blessed to belong to a group of caring individuals who are united with a sense of purpose, community, and collaboration. Together we explore, educate ourselves, raise awareness of, and assist in meeting specific needs and addressing urgent issues within our community and beyond. Together we make a significantly larger impact than we could individually. That impact is needed now more than ever!
