We will again be meeting outside under the pavilion at Van Horne Park in Rocky Hill at 7:30AM (access via the light at Benjamin Blvd by the Burger King on US 206). Food and drink will not be provided but feel free to bring your own. Masks and social distancing will be required. We will also send out a Zoom link to the membership so that all can participate. If the forecast calls for heavy rain, we will move the meeting strictly to Zoom (an email will be sent out the night before). This week's speaker will be Paula Flory from Move Over Breast Cancer.

As Dorothy said at the end of The Wizard of Oz “there’s no place like home”. Taking another step forward on to the road to normalcy, we will be returning to Cherry Valley County Club on Oct 1 for our weekly breakfast meetings. Our Installation Dinner held at Cherry Valley this past week went off without a hitch (thank you Kevin and Lisa) and I look forward to getting back to our weekly home. Next week will be our final meeting (at least, for the time being) at Van Horne Park.
