ALL CHANGED
President’s Message
Hello Adventurers!
Life certainly has changed for us all in the last several weeks with the advent of the COVID-19 coronavirus and all its impacts. As I write this, we have just cancelled our March meeting, the lines at Costco and other retailers are featured on the news and there are new announcements from federal, state and city authorities every-day. Some of our members have cancelled trips through the summer and we are wondering when it will be safe to get on an airplane again and which countries will welcome travelers in search of adventure! In spite of all this, we are sending you our planned programs for the next quarter and are certainly hopeful we will be able to meet to hear these interesting presentations. You will notice that there is no meeting scheduled for April. Although we had hoped that skipping our March meeting would be enough, in an abundance of caution we are also cancelling April, assuming it is quite likely that social distancing will still be in place.
On a happier note, we have arranged for a new entrée at the Outrigger Canoe Club. Since the delicious Curried Chicken Salad in Papaya replaced the Beef Stew entrée, we have noticed that there are very few orders for the Cobb Salad and, at the same time, we have been asked about adding a vegetarian choice. So at our next meeting at OCC on May 21, Thai Vegetable Curry will be offered. I’m told by those who have eaten it that it is very tasty!
Please stay safe and healthy. Aloha, Carolyn Gire, President
