MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT JILL

Greetings, Jet Setters! 2020 continues to be a challenging year for so many families…the devastating wildfires throughout the West, the hurricanes in the Southeast, parents and students trying to juggle this different way of attending school and still hold down a job as teachers work to provide support and guidelines to the students and parents which includes their own children. There are also people in our community who have had little contact with others for several months because of their health, or a business owner trying to work through this “drought” in tourism. Please be aware of those around you or someone you know who may need an encouraging word, card, or phone call. You are an awesome group of women who cares deeply for others and our community. Your kindness and spirit are a light for others in so many ways. We have had a spectacular month! It’s great to “see” so many on Zoom each week and enjoy the great programs. Our garage sale fundraiser was a huge success and thank you, again, to everyone who made arrangements for the sale, the signs, the donations, set up, clean up, working the sale, making sure we met the Health Department guidelines…the list goes on and it was a joy to actually be together. Another job well done, Jet Setters! I am looking forward to hearing about the other creative and innovative ideas that are percolating out there! President Jill

There are four key strategies we must all use to address this issue: • ALWAYS practice social distancing • Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, • Clean surfaces often, including cell phones and computers, • Follow Governor’s proclamation to “Stay at Home” order. Differences between “Social Distancing”, “Isolation” and “Quarantine Social Distancing: Give yourself space around other people who are not sick. Six feet is the recommended distance so that you are unlikely to be sprayed by droplets from an errant cough or sneeze. Avoid things like handshakes, hugs, etc. Isolation: If you are sick or have symptoms do not go out in public but stay at your residence and practice social distancing from other residents there. Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms get worse. Quarantine: If you have been, or think you have been, in contact with someone who is symptomatic go back to your residence and stay there a minimum of 14 days even if you do not develop symptoms.

Garage Sale

President Jill reported that our share of proceeds from the garage sale held September 12 and 13, 2020 was just under $2,400. It took the help of many to get the job done but we had fun!

Online Meetings

Due to social distancing and “Stay Home, Stay Healthy” requirements our meetings will be held online for an indeterminate amount of time. Becky McGinty will be sending out the Zoom Audio/Video Conference Information for each meeting. Since Thursday’s meeting is our business meeting, we will need to have a majority of the club participate in the online meeting. The meeting also provides you with needed appropriate social contact to help keep you healthy in mind as well as body. * At a minimum, please participate in the CONFERENCE CALL. This is the easiest and most accessible to all and can be accomplished by anyone who has a telephone. Please know how to MUTE and UN-MUTE your phone so as to eliminate background noise. Just call the conference number 2-5 minutes prior to the meeting. See Becky’s email for up-to-date information on logging in to the Zoom meeting by either phone or computer. * If you have internet access on your personal computer, laptop, etc. and would like to participate in the video conference, please see the instructions from Becky McGinty who is hosting our meetings. Please set this up ahead of Thursday’s meeting. If you cannot set this up ahead of time - please use the conference call information above, and we will work with everyone to ensure they can get setup for video conferencing in future... If you log on from your computer, you will need a microphone and audio capabilities (speakers) If you do not have microphone/speakers - just dial the conference number above to get into audio portion of meeting. Please login to meeting 10-15 minutes before meeting start so Becky can help anyone that needs it.
