Hello LB Newcomers Club Members,

Well 2020 is a challenging year and I hope this note finds you and your loved ones safe and healthy. All of us are somehow affected by COVID-19 restrictions here in Lake Barcroft. The Newcomers Club is definitely affected due to the fact its sole mission is to bring people close together in a social environment who do not know one another.

Normally by this time the Newcomers Club would’ve held or scheduled the summer social events (and looking toward the fall). Unfortunately, it appears we will not be able to have any in the near future. Therefore, until we can gain a better understanding of how to socialize safely, the Board approved extending everyone’s annual membership for one year from their due date. The membership extensions were processed today, 27 June 2020.

As the Governor begins to reopen Virginia to allow limited social engagements, the Board is looking into other activities that might allow new neighbors in Lake Barcroft to meet with others while still maintaining social distancing, especially for our at-risk members. Although we are still delivering Newcomers Club Welcome Bags (thank you Nomi!), we are open to suggestions for possible safe socializing. Let us know at lbnewcomers@gmail.com and periodically check into the LB Newcomers Club website: https://lakebarcroftnewcomersclub.wildapricot.org/

Thank You,

Phil Boggs

President
