| OHCC LIVING | OCTOBER 2020 | 25 October… pumpkins, cinnamon… fall… at last. What would we do without Zoom? During this hiatus, our Friday Zoom meetings have helped (I think) by providing a bit of personal contact and connection. We gather online every Friday at 12 noon, and spend 40 minutes touching base with each other, checking in, and making sure that all is well. All are welcome if you wish to join us! Contact Chris Sanderson for information on how to get set up if you don't already have the capability on your phone, laptop or computer. Our monthly meetings are conducted on Zoom as well, the first Thursday of every month at 9:30 am, and they allow us to take care of the small amount of business that remains necessary. Show and Tell at these meetings has proven to be reassuring that our creativity does not wane during tough times. And – amazingly – our club continues to grow and prosper. We have several new members despite our "distance." The philanthropy projects are still ongoing – that need doesn't go away. The kids at Pendleton rely on our blankets, quilts, and holiday stockings this year just as much as any, and we do our best to keep them smiling. Their life is much more unsettled than ours… it is what we can do to help while they support our country. My hope is that October finds us healthier because we have "done our homework" (worn our masks, and safely distanced ourselves). Please remember to wash your hands often. My wish is that our holidays are a happier place than the last seven months have been, and that our "village" is beginning to heal. If anyone would like to participate in our activities and is not sure of who to reach out to during this time, please call Chris Sanderson (858) 442-1834 for more information. Also, please visit our website, lovingly updated by Terri Eckhardt, http://ohccsewing.wixsite.com/ ohccsewing. All are welcome to join us. Dues are $7 per year. If you join now, you will be paid up through the end of 2021 as we are rolling over 2020 dues. We look forward to seeing you when life gets back to normal! Sewing, Etc. Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time. Pumpkins quilt- Kristin Schnieders Halloween quilt – Christine Kovac Pumpkin for the table – Karen Lohr
