From Williamsburg Bird Club President Cheryl Jacobson:
First of all I want to say that I hope you’re taking extra care to stay safe and healthy, for yourself, your loved ones, and those around you. I know It is a stressful and emotional experience as our daily routines change. However, we have one thing in common: an enduring love of birds. And at times like this, birds can bring us joy and provide a connection to the natural world. This will pass and we will be together in person to share this love.
Also, this email is to let you know that we have canceled the VSO 2020 Annual Meeting. I want to give a special thanks to all the volunteers who stepped up when asked. Also, a special thanks to Rexanne Bruno who has been a tremendous leader and to all the members on the planning committee.
In an email to the committee Rexanne recently wrote, ” I regret having to cancel this meeting as I know it would have been one of the best VSO meetings ever. You all contributed so much to this being a successful meeting and then the coronavirus pandemic happened and threw us into a tailspin. I have been so impressed with the effort each of you has made and the way you each stepped up to accept responsibilities to make this meeting happen. ” The Committee could not have succeeded without you and so I extend these same comments to all our volunteers, exhibitors, field trip leaders, raffle donators, etc.
I will say again…this will pass and we will gather to share our love of birds. Best Cheryl Jacobson
