PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Dear Members,

I hope all our members enjoyed their 4th of July Holiday.

I was originally writing that I was hopeful that the worst is behind us. Most people have received their vaccines, cruises have now begun cautiously sailing, Europe and other destinations are slowly opening up to US visitors, our country and others are loosening the Covid restrictions for vaccinated travelers and infection rates are at an all time low.

But unfortunately, due to lack of a presenter for July, the board decided to cancel the live dinner meeting and being that we feel everyone is sick and tired of Zoom meetings, we are just going to give everyone the summer off and double our efforts to line up programs for the Fall months. I'm disappointed as I'm sure several members are also, but hopefully we'll be back stronger in the Fall.

ATTENTION SUPPLIERS! We need to fill our Fall dates and beyond. You may email our Programs director Fran Raupp at franr@baytravelandtours.com for information. If any suppliers would like to share a meeting, she can put it together for you.

Enjoy your summer, stay well and see you in September!

Respectfully,

Susan Bonesso

To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.
