              A MESSAGE FROM
              THE DIRECTOR
              Let’s spring forward to warmer days and good times with friends. We’ve
              planted a garden full of good cheer, and new activities are blooming.
              For those who are energized and ready to explore, we’ve got a budding
              list of places to visit and things to see across the country. We’ve also
              sprinkled in some educational seminars and day trips sprouting up locally.

              Since your safety is our utmost concern, we will be practicing social
              distancing and other protective measures at events. The number of
              guests on motorcoaches will be limited, face coverings will be used when
              required, and event attendees will need to sign a waiver. Also, please
              know all our extended trips include trip insurance, which can give you
              peace of mind in uncertain times.

              At the time of print, the extended trips, outings, and presentations in this
              newsletter are all scheduled to occur as planned. However, due to the
              ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, these events may need to be rescheduled
              or canceled. Please contact me with any questions you may have.

              I look forward to seeing you soon!
