The regular monthly gathering of Glacier Probus was held on the Zoom platform on Thursday, April 1, 2021 with approximately 55 in attendance on 29 screens. Dorothy McGinn chaired the meeting in the absence of President Sandy Dreger. She expressed the hope that many members of the club had already had their first "jab" of the Covid Vaccine with many others hopefully being scheduled over the next few weeks. Age seems to still have a few privileges! Dorothy also acknowledged the members of the Club who answered the call for volunteers at the Mass Vaccination Clinic that will begin operation next week.
The Management Committee met this month and determined that we will continue to meet on the Zoom for at least May and June. We will hopefully be able to convene in person in September and the AGM is postponed until then. The Comox United Church hall does offer the opportunity to hold "hybrid" meetings - a combination of in person and Zoom if necessary.
Again, Dorothy extended a vote of thanks on behalf of all Club members to our Zoom gurus Alan and Elaine Brown who have supported our monthly gatherings, Trivia Night and various Activity Group meetings. They have played a very important part in keeping us all in touch during the pandemic.
Dorothy asked all members to consider taking the opportunity to serve on the Management Committee. Speak to any current member of the committee about upcoming vacancies - especially Tony Nicol who is getting pretty tired of beating the bushes looking for volunteers. Clubs do no run themselves and we look forward to new ideas to keep our club vibrant.
There was a last minute change to the program. Our scheduled speaker was to be Hilary Pryor, a creative director, writer and produces of inspiring award-winning broadcast porgramming. Unfortunately she had a very serious family medical emergency and could not be with us. She provided a link to episodes of her documentary series Moosemeat and Marmalade.
