February 2022 - President’s Message
A message from Gord Kruger, Evergreen Club president
Greetings once more my friends!!....I have decided that I will never again take a wild guess as to when this Covid Prison might free us. I have over the past couple of years offered several starry eyed statements as to the status of Covid and it's potential demise and have guessed badly in all those attempts. But, then again, who might have said that this thing would still be around two years later......and still being a total pest. So it remains at this point in time that masks are still in vogue and protocols are still in place.
I would first of all offer my sincerest THANKS to the "Janet Team" for their time and effort in getting our club back on the rails and bringing it back to life. There is no doubt that we were in deep trouble during those early Covid times and things looked pretty bleak. However the ladies never lost faith. They slowly began to pull things together and although we are not yet 100% viable, thing are starting to gain more and more traction and it really is starting to feel that we may be headed back to some sort of a norm. Our lounge is now set up with some tables to operate at 50% of the room.......masks must be worn when not eating or drinking. Food service will be available from 8:30 am to 1 pm for the first couple of weeks of February and Take Out is still available. Our many activity clubs are slowly opening and becoming activated and will continue to do so.....so maybe, just maybe, the Evergreen Club will fully awaken from it’s slumber and once again become what it once was......a vibrant and active Seniors outlet.......let’s hope.
And before I go, a couple of cute Covid stories......The sign outside the eating establishment said in VERY BOLD LETTERS......"MASK REQUIRED FOR SERVICE".....it said this 4 times in four separate rows. Under this it added....Do Not Pout, Do Not Whine, Do Not Argue, Do Not Harass The Employees, Do Not Spout Conspiracy Theories, Do Not Regurgitate Misinformation you got from your Uncle on Facebook. This is not political, it's basic health and safety, Do Not choose to be the problem...........Now that's a pretty KOOL SIGN.........and one more.......I just found out that a fellow was recently kicked off the "Flat Earth Facebook Group"......he apparently asked if the 6 foot safe distancing guideline had pushed anyone over the edge yet.
..........ADIOS for now....gk
