This situation has challenged us all in unprecedented ways and I am incredibly proud to see the resilience of our Club and its members. Due to the efforts of our members, we never wavered in our mission to help our community. The arrival of the vaccines presents an uplifting opportunity to begin putting the pandemic behind us and raises hope for our lives and livelihoods to begin returning to some semblance of normalcy. The past year has certainly tested us, but we have shown our strong resolve. Now is the time to continue that perseverance and work collectively as the community service members we are.

Happy Holidays to all of our members and surrounding clubs. I hope that you are all able to enjoy time with family in whatever method you are able. This year has certainly provided a lot of challenges, changes and curve balls. I would have certainly thought we would be in a much better position with the virus by now, but it seems that we are taking a downward turn. I sincerely hope that things improve and we can all get together again as we have in the past. Until then, use whatever methods you can to stay in touch with those you care about. Let us also remember those who may not ask for help. They are likely the ones who need us the most. Reach out to family or friends and make sure they are okay.

Fall is my favorite time of year. Though I miss the beautiful sunshine of summer, I do love the changing leaves, stormy weather, and the cozy nights of fall. October is Spooky Time and, in my opinion, the true onset of fall here in the Pacific Northwest. As fall continues into November and December, we enjoy our holiday gatherings. This year may be different as we continue to practice social distancing and stay healthy. I traditionally host Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, and will continue to do so for those who wish to attend. It will be a wonderful change to host a gathering and I look forward to seeing all the bright and cheerful faces of our friends and loved ones.

Despite the restrictions in place across the globe, Lions everywhere are finding new ways to serve our communities and those in need. From eyeglasses and hearing aides to disaster relief, we continue to serve. New ways of fundraising are paramount to the success of our Clubs. Many clubs have branched out of their comfort zone and expanded their fundraising events to include more socially distant events and fundraisers. We have done the same. If you have ideas about fundraising opportunities that we can participate in, please bring it up at a club meeting or send an email. New ideas are always welcome!
