Message from the President
|
Hello JSGH Members and Friends, I hope that you are all staying safe, and enjoying the best that summer has to offer! While the current resurgence of COVID in the state is certainly an unwelcome development, we are lucky to live in a state with one of the highest vaccination rates. While it seems that we’re not quite post-COVID yet, despite some setbacks, Connecticut is still doing well! |
|
With that in mind, JSGH has a few outdoor events planned in the coming months. Please see below for details. With everyone’s cooperation, we should be able to have these events safely, as planned, and have lots of fun! Hope to see you soon. Best Regards, Peter Watson, President, JSGH |
