Dear AAUW Family

In Hamlet, Shakespeare wrote, “Time is out of joint.” While Shakespeare wasn’t writing about pandemics, it’s still an apt description of what we are experiencing now.

AAUW of Valparaiso will postpone all face-to-face meetings until further notice. We will continue to monitor and review recommendations from the state government, the CDC, and the WHO to make informed decisions that will protect the safety of not only our members but of our families and others in our community. We will not have physical gatherings until we can feel genuinely safe. This is the best way we can support one another for now.

Thanks to our Zoom pioneers, many branch activities are taking place through videoconferencing. Even if you don’t have a computer, tablet, or smartphone, you can join these activities by dialing in on any phone. Please contact Linda if you need help getting started.

On May 27 at 6:pm, the Board meeting will be held via Zoom to discuss changes to the suffrage celebration. We will also begin exploring alternatives such as webinars and other online programming so that we can stay connected and informed.

Thank you all for demonstrating strong, supportive relationships with each other, your own “quarinteams,” and the community.

Sincerely,

Linda and Ann
