I want to extend lovely wishes for a springtime of great hope and healing renewal. Due to the ongoing covid 19 pandemic restrictions, and despite the fact that many are getting the vaccine, we are still viewing it to be unwise to meet in person for our first-Thursday-of-the-month meetings at The White Plains Presbyterian Church in White Plains. I am in the process of having discussions with the church, as we navigate the steps - and protocols - necessary to create the safest foundation for our next 'in-person' meeting. Please take good care of yourselves in the best ways that you know how. Stay connected to the people who have shown the most care and concern for you and your family. It's important that we try everyday, to lift each other up. It just takes a small gesture to let someone know that you care. We are holding Zoom meetings for those who are interested, so please contact me at dawncrista@gmail.com if you'd like to participate. Also, if you'd like me to call you, either email me at the above address, or leave a detailed message on our chapter phone line. (914) 381-3389. I would be glad to return your call so that we could talk soon.

In Friendship, with hope abiding,

Dawn Moriwaki - Chapter Leader (and Kaitlyn's Mom) 🦋
