"Many hands make light work." We have all heard that, and I
remember my grandmother saying it many times. In March we
had to suspend our meetings at Needle Me, and give up our great
conversations and see our friends' progress with their projects, but
we haven't suspended our helping hands.
One of our members, Janet Swindell, has a daughter who is a nurse
at Loma Linda. With the shortage of masks for the nurses, a plea
went out for handmade ones to help with the shortage. We received
generous donations of material and ribbon, and helpful hands
boosted the production that Janet had been shouldering herself.
Other members delivered Bistro meals, shopped for others and made
sure their neighbors were OK.
As this is being written, there is no crystal ball to look into to see
how long or how bad this virus is going to be. I do know, however,
that we are strong and will survive this all the stronger. Keep in touch
with each other. Thankfully, Bobbie has kept the list up-to-date for
us. Keep up with your projects and helping each other. This is who
we are.
When we are back in meetings again, I invite others who want to
do knitting, crocheting, or needlework of any kind with a great group
of women to join us in the craft room on the first and fourth Fridays
of the month from 1 to 3 pm. If you have any questions, please
contact Donna Morrell at (951) 385-3808 or Maggie Fussell at (951)
388-7640.

Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, & time.
TGIF
At this point in time, we are hopeful that things will start
to open up slowly. That being said, we do not anticipate
that TGIF/Karaoke will be able to resume until perhaps
2021. The format we have does not allow for sharing food.
Also, we would need to maintain the distance required
under current standards and the wearing of masks is still
recommended. We want to be cautious and not take any
risks for our residents. We hope you will rejoin us when it
is safe. Thank you. Your TGIF/Karaoke Committee.
Book Club
Our book for July is Big Sky by Kate
Atkinson. Due to the coronavirus
and everyone's safety, I'll be hosting a
Zoom meeting. I hope everyone who is
interested in a good discussions will join
us. The day before meeting I'll send you a
password. Any questions call me at (951)
