Spindrift May 14, 2020
Her office stays in touch with the Office of Emergency Services and the Governor’s office. Recently, FEMA, together with the Orange County Dept of Health, has authorized up to three meals/day if needed. Call Oasis and they will handle the arrangements if you are qualified.
We are working on a “return to work” strategy to roll out a summer program, including the library services. We are dismayed that we are unable to have the Field of Honor this year but if we get an application in by May 27, it’s a “go” for next year.
Laura holds our club in high regards, and she feels personally lucky to live and work here. We do, too!
Q and A: Dr. Bob, claiming he needed a haircut, asked about when the barber-shops and salons might be opening. Laura agreed it was a good question, but noted that she thought that is NOT the next phase, but the one after that. Norm Von Herzen wanted to know when he could walk around Balboa Island, and Laura found out: “TODAY” is the answer.
BONUS REPORTS from your Senior Editor and Treasurer. We intend to continue the Spindrift three to four times a month as before, and we have two other editors, Dave Schapiro and Steve Pool who get a lot of satisfaction when they have completed an issue. Sometimes there may be room for an individual member to write a full column about his/her views or sometimes we might want you to summarize your life as if in one of our “three-minute talks” that usually run ten.
Treasurer’s report: We are saving money not having to pay for food, and I am confident that the Executive Committee and the Board will make fair decisions about the unspent money. In the meantime, you might as well pay the regular invoices but we’re not sending out reminders at this time. Thanks, Bob Wood
