January 22, 2021 President Susanne’s Message…
Welcome 2021! 2020 was a difficult year of transitions. We’ve made it through year one of the pandemic, something we never thought we would live through in our lifetime. It has been for many a year filled with stress, uncertainty and for some fear. It has a year filled with loss. For many of us, the loss of family and friends complicated with the inability grieve and honor those we’ve lost with the usual respect.
