Good Morning, everyone.
Over the last 14 months, our Communication Committee and newsletter editors have produced approximately 100 newsletters! These began, and continued throughout the pandemic, as a way to support our members, volunteers and the community at large during a very challenging time. As the situation has slowly improved, the frequency of the newsletter decreased from three times a week to our current offering, every two weeks.
Since the last newsletter, Covid-19 cases continue to drop in Tompkins County. More people are getting vaccinated, and Ithaca College, Cornell University and Tompkins Cortland Community College have all announced that they will require students to be vaccinated before returning to campus in the autumn. As a result of these developments, there is confidence that we may get back to normal sooner rather than later. Additionally, with spring and summer around the corner, we anticipate people will be getting out more and once again doing the things they love; therefore, we will begin to publish the newsletter once a month beginning in June through the fall.
Given these factors, the Communications Committee has started discussing possible revisions to the format and content for our newsletter. To help us with this effort, I would like to hear from you. Which content would you like us to keep? What do we no longer need? Is there additional content you would like us to add? While our newsletter is only one of several ways we stay in touch with and serve our members, it is an important tool. Your feedback will be a valuable contribution toward ensuring we continue to support our members to the best of our ability, now and in the future.
As always, if there’s anything you need or if you’d like to talk, please let me know.
Cheryl

LLH provides a wide variety of volunteer opportunities for those in our community who are willing to share their time and expertise. LLH volunteers give as much time as they wish according to a schedule that suits them. Volunteers do not have to be members and members do not have to volunteer. Anyone 18 or older may volunteer. All abilities are welcome. We find that those who choose to volunteer, find it highly rewarding. Through the volunteer experience, we are fostering a Caring – Connected – Community.
