UPDATE Message from LeeAnn: 05/26/20
Hi Ladies:
I hope all is well and that everyone is safe and healthy.
Things are moving along and we'll install our new President, Leslieann Sussman and new Vice President Leslie Hand next week. Dotty is working on a program for next year, assuming that we'll be able to return to meetings at some point in the year. Thanks to everyone who stepped up and signed on for a committee!
Norma has reminded us once more about the collections for Community Service. She and Debbie will be collecting until next Wednesday, June 3, and delivering on the 4th and 5th. If you haven't already done so, please drop off some of the items below before then, at either Norma's or Debbie's. Call Norma at 473-7895 with any questions.
Items needed are as follows:
Stuffed toys, crayons, colored pencils, and coloring books, for the hospital ERs and pediatrics.
Much-needed food for the Family Homeless Shelter, Help Suffolk. They need snacks for the children in their summer program, and even if the program is called off they'll still give out the snacks.
Pantry items are always suitable, too.
Many thanks in advance for your generosity at this difficult time when so few can afford to contribute to these worthwhile charities.
Hoping that we can come together safely once more to resume our activities and provide for these community needs as we generally do. Meanwhile, take care and be well!
I look forward to seeing you all again in person when times are better.
Love, Lee Ann

Hi everyone:
This is an expanded version of the information you received via phone chain. It's also a way for me to keep in more personal touch with all of you, too! As always, please feel free to call me with any questions, concerns, or ideas.
1. Council Lunch- Mediterreanean Mano- remains unwilling to either cancel or return our deposit, so the Council Board is still doing their best.
UPDATE:I heard back about the Council Lunch reservation. Mediterranean Manor has finally agreed to return the deposit for that event. It's been a long and hard battle for the Council Board. I'm awaiting further details as to the return of people's payments for that lunch, and will inform the members who signed up when I have all the details. No re-schedule for this fall.
2. All May meetings are cancelled, as well as the End of Year Dinner.
3. To pre-register for fall, please send your check for $20 to Debbie DeRocher, Debbie's phone # is in your program. Avoid the crowds on opening day!
4. We hope to be able to resume meeting in the fall, depending on conditions at the time, and only if large gatherings are safe and possible. We'll keep you posted. Anyone in need of a mask may contact Norma Stucchio, her phone # is in the program.
5. I am very happy to report that our committees are complete, and my grateful thanks to our many volunteers. You know who you are! Anyone still motivated to join up is more than welcome.
6. Our new President and Vice President have been confirmed by phone chain vote, and will be installed by email in June. President: Leslieann Sussman and Vice President: Leslie Hand. Congrats and thank you!
7. I am available as always for any questions or concerns you have. I'm always glad to chat with you, and of course, I am always home!
8. Dotty Callegari, our Program Chair, is working on next year's program, and is looking for volunteers for classes. Please call her.
9. Norma Stucchio and Debbie DeRocher are collecting the April and May community service donations all throughout May. Please drop off on the front porch in the boxes provided, no contact necessary.
April's collection is new stuffed toys, coloring books, crayons, and word books for local hospitals. May is for the family shelter Help Suffolk. They need food pantry items, including, but not limited to, snacks for the children’s summer program. Please no clothing or bedding, only FOOD. Thanks to everyone in advance for your generosity!
10.The Chinese Auction will be tentatively re-scheduled for October, conditions permitting. We'll keep you posted, of course.
11. Norma and Lynn would like to give our sincere thanks to Joe Cognitore and VFW Rocky Point Post #6249 for providing the funds for us to ship our handmade sweaters and blankets to Fort Drum.
12. Closing with this inspiring and hopeful quote, from Irish American teacher Kitty O'Meara, forwarded to me by Joanne Jones.
And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.
And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.
And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed.
I'm missing you all, and looking forward to seeing you again as soon as it's safely possible. Meanwhile, have a good summer, be well, and stay safe!
Love, Lee Ann
