A Letter from our President/Province Director, Sheila Hopkins
Reverend Fathers and Council Sisters:
Myrna Wong, Laurie Ulseth and I met with the hotel staff on January 12th.
THE FEBRUARY LUNCHEON HAS BEEN POSTPONED.
The hotel will forward the hotel reservations to the June date for the night of June
10th. Additionally, I am working to have a Province Mass and Banquet that evening
in lieu of the February celebration. This will still only require one hotel night. Laurie will hold the lunch money that was paid to go towards the banquet cost once we finalize the cost rather than write all the refund checks. Anyone note able to come in June will receive a full refund. Thank you for your understanding and support of this move to make things more comfortable in coming. We did feel the hotel could accommodate us under their protocols but realize some have concerns.
NOTE: The Florida Turnpike, beginning January 15, will not longer collect cash tolls. You can either buy a Turnpike Toll Pass or drive through the gate and they will bill you based on your car tag. This is being implemented due to COVID concerns about handling and collecting cash in person.
We will continue to sell basket tickets until June 1. The Palm Beach Basket is now $100 in cash.
For those of you who know Julie Drake, who served on many levels including the FCCW Board and as NCCW Legislative Chairman, her husband Bill has gone to heaven this past week. If you wish to send a card, her address is 1116 Hidden Bluff, Clermont, FL 34711. May Bill and all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
May Our Lady of Good Counsel continue to pray for our needs, those of all people during this pandemic and the change in national leadership. Thank you for your service to God and our neighbors.
Sheila

FCCW President/Province Director
