President’s Message – May 2023

Spring is in full bloom and summer is just around the corner. As I write this month’s column, Judy and I are in Boise, Idaho for a reunion. Spring is a later arrival here with snow cover at the higher elevations. Spring blooms are about 3-4 weeks behind our area, but you can tell it’s on the way. Judy and I have lots of out-of-area travel planned for May and June, so our participation in CFMC events will be limited.

Gina and Ken Schiess hosted a great half-day long road trip on April 15. Read about the adventure in this month’s RTT. We have a busy time ahead for the CFMC in the next couple of months. Fred Heaton is planning an event for mid-May, and Kevin and Deb Perham will host their fantastic Belmont “Steaks” event in June.

May brings us two important holidays that deserve our gratitude and appreciation. Mother’s Day on May 14 and Memorial Day is celebrated on Monday, May 29. These holidays celebrate sacrifice, love of family and country. We all have been blessed by the commitment and perseverance that these holidays represent. So please make sure to spend some quality time reflecting on what impact Mother’s Day and Memorial Day have on our lives.

Enjoy the pleasant spring weather before the heat, humidity, and crowds of summer arrive. We hope to see you soon. Zoom-Zoom!

Welcome to March! After enjoying an extra day in February due to leap year, March is going to be a busy month. It begins with Election day on March 3, after which there will undoubtedly be eight more months of non-stop political ads. We anticipate the beginning of daylight savings time on March 8, the…
