Message From The Chairman
There is an old expression that goes like this: “The more that things change, the more they stay the same”.
A year ago, I wrote my first message as your new chairman. I wrote about how
much we had to be thankful for- even in the face of a Covid-19 pandemic during
2020.
A year later, I am writing about the fact that we have experienced another Covid
year with a new variant called Delta, perhaps with 2021 not as negative as the
prior year. Many restrictions were lessened. We did reopen the Center on a
limited basis and even had some non-Zoom meetings. We rejuvenated our corps
of volunteers.
Guess what? We are now starting a third year with a new variant-Omicron.
And now new/old challenges. There is a very good likelihood that we will have
our upcoming Board meeting via Zoom.
“The more things change, the more they stay the same”!
Notwithstanding, we are much better prepared than we were two years ago, or
even one year ago. As I indicated in my last message, we have challenges
ahead. Fundraising is one of them. Space for future expansion is another one.
When you read this message, we will be in the new year with its own set of new
challenges. And as I have said before, we will meet them with vigor and
strength. We shall overcome!
The next Board meeting will be at 4:30 pm, January 18, 2022.
Happy New Year,
Jack A. Apperson, Chairman
