JUNE 
Facing COVID-19 Challenges
It is difficult being the President of the best women's social club when I cannot be social...
 
There is only so much that I can do within my condo walls - clean out closets, prepare paperwork for my accountant to file this year’s taxes, complete the 2020 census, etc.  My life has taken on a new path… there is no sense of urgency, one day blends into the next, going to sleep later, sleeping in, and only my calendar provides a clue as to the day or date!  The silence is deafening when my fiance Larry is off working from 1:30 to 10:00 pm  -  our new date place is Publix! 
 
But what can I do in the interim until the coast is really clear?  I contacted all our members via phone/email to see how each of you were fairing during this pandemic. A majority said they were living as well as could be expected; sorry they could not make it back to their northern home; just happy to hear from someone from Estero Newcomers Club; or enjoying new reading material (newsletter, links to virtual tours of the Vatican or Hawaii or our beach cam).
 
A few members that I talked to asked if the club was sponsoring any charitable organizations  -  well the idea was fantastic and I requested an emergency Zoom board meeting. We will also take this suggestion one step further and activate credit card donations for our monthly luncheon charity beginning in July. Keep an eye out for further news via the website and newsletter charity sections from Carole Sarkozy, Charity Coordinator.
 
Your Activities Chair, Lynn Medini and her staff are trying their best to think out of the box, especially since most activities are non-existent for large groups.  Keep an eye out for Zoom meeting notifications in the near future!  Lynn has worked also tirelessly with Brenda Njiwaji, Newsletter Editor and Jayne Cohen, Website Administrator to create a survey available next month which will ask for your input.
 
Hopefully, this way of life is temporary and the light at the end of the tunnel appeared May 4th when the Governor opened Florida to the First Phase. Keep checking the website for current information. The June newsletter will spotlight our great board members and luncheon volunteers as well as other activity ideas for sheltering in–place.
 
Thanks for your support!
