PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

Well it seems there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. I hope you all have been bearing up well under house confinement. In the coming couple of weeks we will begin to shape the near future for our club. We will be having an officer's meeting and a board meeting both through tele-conferencing. Hopefully we will be able to fix a date for resuming our meetings.
Stay safe and healthy.
