EventsRANW Live Events and Gatherings On HoldWhile there's finally real hope that better days are ahead, when event commitment deadlines were being considered earlier this year, the uncertainty of safety in large groups was paramount. So out of continued concern for the wellbeing of our members, the Board put a continued hold on planning live networking events and large in-person gatherings. This included among other things, golf outings and the Timber Rattlers fundraiser. We'll keep you updated if those plans change and continue to wish you all the best as we look forward to seeing you in person as soon as we can.

We all hear quotes every day. Generally, they are from famous writers like Shakespeare or Hemingway, or from politicians and world leaders like Churchill or Jefferson. But listening to music the other day I heard one of those great quotes by someone not quite so famous. Joe Walsh (one of my rock & roll heroes) said in one of his songs, "I can't complain but sometimes I still do." It made me stop and think - does this apply to me? I would like to think it doesn't, but I know it does. How about you? My best guess is none of us are exempt. Are things really as bad as we sometimes make them out to be? Is this really something I should be complaining about? And maybe it is. Sometimes life does hand us lemons that are just darn hard to make into lemonade. But more often than not, if we step back and take another look at things, life really isn't that bad. I know I'll still complain sometimes when I really have no reason to, but I'm going to try to keep Joe's words in mind. Maybe it will help me keep my perspective.
