September 2, 2021 Luncheon

​A perfectly beautiful September day welcomed our first luncheon of the 2021-2022 season.
Our Executive VP, Nancy Converse, greeted new and returning members, and called for a moment of silence in memory of those we have lost over the past year.
Sheryl Solow presented the Thought for the Day reading a poem she wrote during the period of isolation.  It was entitled "Brilliantly Resilient".
Our program featured Jaime McArdle, a very talented violinist who entertained us with her stories and beautiful playing.  

Our VP of Programs, Diana Taplin, gave us a preview of the programs for the coming few months.
