President’s Corner

Christina Sallee, National President With Easter at the door, I hope everyone still is doing well. We are not quite back to life as before the pandemic, but we are all getting used to the changes and living with those. My local lodge are getting together in March for our first meeting in a long time, and I am sure the same can be said for your local lodges. We Sisters have been very resilient through the pandemic, and while we have lost some sisters, we have also gained quite a few new ones. Overall, we all have been able to hang in there and see the light at the end of this long and deep tunnel. As I told you last month, we are having our Board meeting at the end of February, and we are planning the PowerPoint presentation to show all the districts who are still planning on having their conventions. We are aware that some District Conventions are now for the third year, not taking place and we are planning to cohost a Zoom meeting with Tivoli lodge showing the District Convention slides with updates from National Board, so you can get a small glimpse of all the things we have been doing and are planning. This should take place in June or July but stay tuned for more information. As you are aware we did put together a second trip to Denmark, September 22 to October 4th, so now is your chance to sign up and join us and Benedikte for a fabulous tour of Denmark and part of Germany to celebrate the 1920 reunification. Reach out to Connie Schell and come and see Denmark with us, more information is in the newsletter and our website. I wish you all a Happy Easter (God Påske)

Sisterly Regards,
