Dear Members,

In the interest of the safety and health of our JASNA-GCR community, we have made the decision to transform our traditional Spring Gala to a virtual format. While we are still ironing out the technical details, we anticipate making available a number of presentations from the Williamsburg AGM. We hope to have some of the speakers we planned for the Gala join us at the summer meeting. We will keep you posted.

We know that these times present a range of challenges and many of us are feeling a sense of isolation. To help a bit, our wonderful board members are working on a variety of social media platforms to help us feel connected. We will let you know as soon as those become available.

In the meantime, please take care of yourself and each other. Read your favorite books again. Watch those Austen movies and decide which Mr. Darcy or Mr. Knightley is the best. If you need anything--groceries or a ride or a friendly voice--please reach out. We are a community and we care about and for each other.

Stay well, Maureen
