Last week was our first try at a hybrid meeting.  It was accomplished with some hic-ups, but MiMi got the job done.  It is difficult with so many lap tops trying to capture the real time meeting and transport the images to the Zoom participants.  The speaker programs have been a success via Zoom.  This week will be a strictly Zoom meeting.  We need to continue recruiting for the Blood drive Sept. 2.  And the first planning meeting for the new CCH was held with more meetings and decisions to follow.  Marlene updated us on the Rotary County Group and the by-laws have been established.  It's slow going with the social slow down.
Country Ramblings:   We have had a real summer this year with temperatures rising above 90 on several days.  And with pools closed and travel limited it has been difficult to enjoy the heat by spending time in the water.  People have been staying home and enjoying their own back yards and spending time improving their surroundings. Vacation money is being spent on home and garden improvements.  Camper sales are way up and camp grounds are full as the populace attempts to travel while maintaining social distancing.  But we are all surviving and trying to make the most of a difficult situation. Fall is right around the corner and we will see the leaves starting to turn.  A beautiful time of year to hike.  Fall bird migration will begin soon and we will have a chance to see those birds that only pass through Spring and Fall.  But you can't enjoy the out doors unless you get out doors.  So get on with it.
 
Keep Ann in your thoughts.  See you on Zoom Friday.
