The Board met and I was asked to remind people to not engage in dialogue in the Chat box during the speakers presentation. In addition, it may not feel like members are present and engaged when a good number of cameras get turned off during the speakers presentation as well. Thank you. 

 

Susan Newcomer shared that soup and chili from Kristin's was delivered to the Vaccine volunteers and National Guard. Thank you, Dayna, for helping Susan to deliver.

Allen and Marianne shared that Meals on Wheels is providing 12000 meals a month and are running a deficit. Their March for Meals Round Up program is not happening so they are doing "Mittens for Meals on Wheels" (Allen might just be the Bernie look alike to promote this!).  You can donate on line at HCS if you're interested.

I hope I captured it all!
