THE
SUMMER SCOOP
February 2021
Happy February!
Brrr....We’ve made it through January here in cold, wintery Logan. We haven’t had
many huge snowstorms but we did get one over these last few days and it is
providing some beautiful views! At this time of year, we are usually back from our
trip to Arizona, but this has not been a usual year and we are still coping with the
Coronavirus. We wish we could’ve been
there in person to connect with friends and
meet new people! We’ve been waiting for
conditions to improve enough that we could
make a definite decision to move forward, but
that is not the case yet.
The brochure will not be printed and mailed
this year. It will be posted online once a deci-
sion is made. We were planning to do one big
Zoom call for the marketing presentations but
now are working on an idea to pre-record
them and post them to the website.
