I hope everyone is staying safe and staying home. I pray that this situation will soon end so that we can get back to normal. What is normal? For a lot of us some things will change for sure. This stay at home has for many changed how we view what we call normal. For me, it means connecting with family and friends more, being thankful for what I already have, supporting local small business, patience, cooking, walking the dog and actually seeing the world around me, the blue skies, the flowers I planted, the nurses and doctors caring for the patients and finally, taking time just for me and appreciating the small things like reading a book or the phone calls from my pastor checking in with me. It truly has been a time for me to reflect on the future which is going to be different after all of this has gone away. Whatever your normal was, perhaps some things have changed for you. I hope, for the better.
Have some great news to share! The board has decided that your dues for 2020-2021 will be cut in half to $12.50!! We really want you to take advantage of this offer. We are not going to be locked down forever and as soon as we can, we will be starting our many activities. Dues should be sent to Membership Chair, Sandy Stevens. For the first 30 members who pay their dues you will receive a token of our appreciation, an herb plant. Oceanside members can pick theirs up at Linda Mueller’s. She has a covered patio area and plants will be out there for you pick up. Vista members can pick theirs up at Treasurer, Yolanda Hayden’s. You may also pay your dues directly to Yolanda if you wish.
The board decided and voted to temporarily suspend updating our website until January. Since we have no activities scheduled there is nothing to update.
The board decided and voted on continuing with our current board until we can get together to conduct an installation of the new board.
Your membership is important so PLEASE take this opportunity to rejoin at half price. We do a lot of fun things throughout the year and YOU being a part of that means a lot. This also is a chance for you to invite a neighbor or friend to join with you because the dues are HALF.
I can’t wait to see all of you again.

Is anybody picking up dues? I don’t go out and probably won’t for a few more months but I can leave a check out if anyone is picking them up.
Hi Judy,
Loved hearing all the news and look forward to joining again. I miss the fun times when we were together and all the wonderful activities planned to look forward to. Stay healthy and safe everyone.❤️
