Today, I share my first president's message with you.  Last Friday, we celebrated our first virtual "Change of the Guard" via zoom.com with great success.  I want to thank our club members for their trust and the kind words I received during the event.  Also, I will like to thank Bert Carter, our past president, for his leadership and guidance.    I feel honored to be selected as your president, and I am planning to work closely with our new board to implement an ambitious plan for the next twelve months.  

This week, we celebrate the independence of our nation.  Americans are proud and fierily independent, we cherish our freedoms and our strong Constitution, which provides so many liberties that some take for granted.   Some of these liberties seem to be curtailed by the COVID-19 infections on the rise.  In my opinion, you're exercising your freedoms when choosing to self-impose restrictions, so this pandemic could be managed and eventually controlled.  I am asking for you and your loved ones' cooperation staying home.  

Our celebrations may look a little different this year, but we still proud to celebrate and honor our great nation. 

Have a great Independence Day!

John
