Loving that April is finally here and that April showers will bring May flowers.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter with family and friends as best as they could considering the new restrictions that were placed upon us.  People are becoming very inventive with how they continue to connect with loved ones and it  warms  my heart to see this.

Today, we begin a tighter lockdown with a “stay at home” order etc.  We, in many cases with being additionally  isolated, may be impacted more so emotionally and mentally during the next few weeks.  Personally I live alone with my dog, my children living a distance away, and I can attest to how much I need and value connecting with the friends I’ve gained through the OBWA.  Please reach out to each other, join us on our Zoom Meeting Wednesday April 14th at 730pm and have a few smiles and hopefully belly laughs with us.  We need each other.

Our membership is slowly increasing, with dues being paid at a discounted price.  Please take note that being a 2021 paid member has it’s benefits, such as you and your business being featured on the OBWA website and being able to share your business activities on our Facebook page.  There are costs related  to maintaining an association such as ours and I thank you in advance for your continued participation.  If you have any questions as to when renewing your membership is due, please reach out to one of your executive members for that information.

Hopefully we will see you Wednesday April 14th  at 730pm.  Please join us even if it’s just by audio!!  We miss you!!!!

Much love and respect to all.  Stay well and safe.

With Warmest of Regards, 

Sharon L. Van Noort, OBWA President
