Time sure has flown over the last year and it’s hard to believe that this is my last column as your President... and what a different year it has been. Who would have thought we couldn’t have banquets, picnics, etc. But as I’ve said all along, many, many more important things have been cancelled. Most of all I want to be mindful of all the suffering and loss of loved ones that’s occurred during this pandemic. I remain hopeful that with vaccines arriving things will be better this next year.

I want to thank the rest of my Board of Directors and support staff for an amazing job well done as we’ve scheduled and re-scheduled events and trips... sometimes it was a daunting job. And to the members of this wonderful club, I want to say it was an honor to be your President and I look forward to serving as Past President this next year. We will welcome our new Board of Directors (see below) effective April 1, 2021. As I write this message, the Board is already working on next year’s events and trips. I’m looking forward to a time soon when we can all get together in person. Stay active, be happy, and keep exploring this beautiful world.

Lovey
