This isn’t how we wanted things to go, but with the Delta variant of covid making so many people sick, we’re cancelling the meeting we had planned for Tuesday, August 31, 2021. Keep an eye on this blog for updates on future meetings.
After more than a year off for the COVID-19 pandemic, the club is going to meet once again. We’ll be at Spear’s Restaurant at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, July 20. Please let Secretary-Treasurer Larry Cannon know if you plan to attend.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, QCWA Sunflower Chapter 79 is suspending its meetings until further notice.
If you’re a member, watch your e-mail for word of when meetings will start again. Everyone else who may be interested in QCWA, watch this space for that notice.
Everyone stay home and stay safe. We hope to see you when this is all over.
The first QCWA Chapter 79 meeting of 2020 will be at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, February 25, at our usual place, Spear’s Restaurant, 4323 West Maple St., Wichita.
We will not have a program.
We will have an all-member forum to discuss the future of the chapter, its leadership, what members want in future activities and meetings, and how to improve both our membership rolls and meeting attendance.
We are hoping that we can elect three people to assume leadership positions in our chapter at this meeting. We need all three officer positions: president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer.
Will you please nominate yourself to help our chapter? You can nominate someone else who is willing to serve if elected.
All members are encouraged to attend this very important meeting and bring their thoughts and ideas on how to keep our chapter alive.
