Club News - November 2021

From the President's Desk

Laurie Barkman

President's
Remarks

Hello fellow Skalleagues,
It's been a wonderful few months of being able to meet once again in person. While COVID-19 is not done with us yet, we are in a place where concerts and travel is once again possible.
And continuing with good news, our club has another opportunity to share our wonderful city and community with Skallegues at the NASC 2024. While it was unfortunate we had to cancel 2020, on the plus side, attractions that wouldn't have been open then will be in 2024. A blessing in disguise.
