Dean’s Column | October 2021

Dear Friends,

In this month’s Overtones, you will find pictures throughout the articles. To me, this speaks to a  narrative of one of our chapter’s high values – intentional relationships. Though the pandemic has naturally changed some of the ways we have traditionally functioned, we haven’t missed a beat in offering quality programs. Now, we as a chapter have cautiously made the decision to gather in person, following the CDC’s suggested guidelines for health and safety. It was so wonderful to share a meal and conversation with each other at the September picnic kicking off our new season.

I’m looking forward to our next event on Friday, October 8th. Please invite a friend and join us for an evening of wonderful music, featuring Eric Plutz playing the works by Louis Vierne.

Warmly,

Judy Kohl
Dean
