A note regarding the COVID-19 crisis
Respectful of the challenges today, our hope of a return to when we can celebrate life more fully keeps us moving forward. We have postponed events scheduled for this spring but remain focused on other ways to bring our mission to friends until the crisis has passed. Until then, we continue to provide a dose of virtual “joie de vivre”.
En respectant les défis de nos jours, notre espoir de pouvoir célébrer la vie pleinement nous aide à avancer. Nous avons reporté nos événements prévus pour ce printemps, mais nous restons concentrés sur les autres façons d’apporter notre mission à nos amis jusqu’a ce que cette crise soit passée. D’ici là, nous continuerons à fournir une petite dose de ‘joie de vivre’ virtuelle!
Honoring the past.
Celebrating the present.
Building for the future.
