So forget about the heat and just enjoy a little light entertainment! “He knows how to love me no awkward declarations / no promises forever after / no polished moves / to gain the inside track he kisses my hands / my arms / my toes / with devoted languor no accusations / when I return late / only tail-wagging joy his bowl empty / I fill it / his water gone / I replace it It’s all I have to do / to stay his one and only “ Meanwhile, we fully expect to resume meeting in person by October, but anticipate retaining an online option of some sort for a few more months.

Many people in SCOV have been fully vaccinated, so we are optimistic that we will likely be able to resume our inhome dinners in the fall. The board will be communicating with membership about the conditions under which members would feel comfortable hosting. As our name implies, our members usually prepare meals that follow an agreedupon theme and share our dishes in the home of a host. The board is considering a club activity in September and possibly earlier. Anyone interested in joining the club should email Debbie dlkotlarek@gmail.com to get on our email list.
