Welcome Spring!!
As we mark the one-year anniversary of the Covid shutdown and a time that changed our lives forever, I thought I would briefly reflect on the past twelve months.
For those who lost a family member, friend, client, or coworker during this past year I send my condolences. We try to reason with the other things we have lost as humans. The simple embrace of a hug, a kiss or a handshake that we took for granted has been replaced with video communication and warm smiles covered by a mask or shield.
The memories over the past twelve months will be forever an imprint on our lives and as distinct as we ourselves are. But as I stated in my first message shortly after shutdown last spring, we are finally seeing a ray of light at the end of the tunnel thanks to vaccines and diligent precautions we are still taking. I am so very pleased that the Network in Aging is helping to shed some of that light to our membership.
By hosting networking events like the wonderful wine event held just recently to the up and coming events being planned over the next few months, including the April 22nd zoom Trivia Night. Two great educational workshops are in the works. Topics include – Food Insecurities in the Elderly on May 18th and Alcoholism: A Disease across the Ages, date (TBD).
We are slowly gaining ground on the road back to ‘the new normal’.
Thank-you to all our new and renewed members, sponsors, committees and board of directors for your continued support to the Network. We are just shy of reaching our membership goal. Be sure to check-out our new member’s only Facebook page.
We become stronger knowing that we all share memories of what we were pre-Covid and what we are now gaining strength from our friendships we have in the Network.
“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls.”
