Outgoing President’s Message / Guild Executive 2022-3

Outgoing President’s Message - Ruth Rutledge

I am grateful for the support of the Executive attending to many details that see our club humming . After two years of COVID Pandemic, our membership has not dropped, programmes continue to be an opportunity to learn or refresh old skills and I am always impressed by the variety ,vitality and inventiveness of our Members who contribute to the Monthly Galleria. You will see evidence of this in the pages of this 2022 Reflections Journal.....an opportunity to amaze each other! I have missed the in-person general meetings but what may come of that is even better with a hybrid format where Members can attend by Zoom or in-person. I am impressed always by the energy and willingness of our Members to take on roles new to them, yet they are willing to serve. If a position or task comes up there is always someone who says “I’ll do it!” or “I’ve never done that before , but I’ll try!” I look forward to being Past President and seeing the Warmland Calligraphers of the Cowichan Valley evolve and challenge each other!
