Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and a great New Year’s Eve!

We had a terrific holiday luncheon in December, and look forward to more luncheons in the new year (see pictures from this event below).

Most of our activities will begin again and in full blast starting in January. First off is our monthly board meeting; stay tuned for the date, and all are invited. Our memoir writing class will continue on the second Monday (January 13) at 10:30 via Zoom.

Book club will be a bit later this month, on January 16, via Zoom. We’ve had a great and enthusiastic turnout for in-person book club, but we will need to have it via Zoom sometimes for convenience.

Fun times will be had February 15; we are having a special “Tea, Stitch, and Chat” at Jan Shideler’s house. Please RSVP to Leslie so we can plan for refreshments. Please bring any sewing supplies and fabrics that you would like to swap or donate; leftovers will be taken to Fabmo in Sunnyvale.

And of course we will be meeting on January 27 for the always popular Investment club meeting.

We have been talking about trips to various interesting places in our area, including a train ride to SF to a wonderful restaurant and then home again by train.

Other trips could be to the new public area of Google, a trip to the museums at Stanford, a bocce ball activity at the new Community Center, and even a return to The Foster Museum in Palo Alto.

Email Leslie about your ideas, too; it’s not too early to think about springtime events.

In the meantime, enjoy the beginnings of the new year and make those resolutions!

Cheers, Birgitta and Leslie
