LONG MAY SHE WAVE!
Dear Members,
Bizarre Bazaar is back in business! Our store opened with a bang, making over $1,400 on its first day back! Our WONDERFUL store managers, Diane and Cherie, along with many others who have dropped in, have worked hard over the last two weeks to change out the merchandise, deep clean the store, and give everything a bright spring look. A round of applause to you! The Board has met and approved the re-opening standards, and we welcome you all back.

As I am sure you have guessed, we will not be holding a general meeting in May, and June is still very questionable. The Board did meet last week via Zoom, and you will find committee reports in the Bulletin. Who ever would have thought back in February that we would be having meetings, cocktail parties and coffee klatches via something called Zoom? Most of us thought of Zoom as a word used to indicate speed, or, in my case, the hot cereal that my grandmother always gave me. On that note, I wish you all happy gardening, a Zoom gathering or two, and a walk in the woods. Stay healthy!
Our lives, like the store, seem to have been put on hiatus. In this extraordinary time, we are all being forced to slow down, turn inward, and perhaps take stock of our lives, our families, our priorities. We will probably emerge with our homes sparkling, cupboards purged, drawers organized, long overlooked projects completed, cooking skills honed and ever so much smarter after reading those books we have set aside for years. If you run out of all of the above or just plain don’t want to do them, our hospitals could use your help in making masks. See below. While we are all cocooning, don’t forget to get outdoors and enjoy our bit of paradise as spring creeps in. And, finally, let us not forget our friends, who may also be feeling isolated - send a note, write an email or, best of all, call. Stay healthy!
