Last night the board of the League of Women Voters of Saratoga County met by Zoom. It was so good to see other peoples faces and their reactions when we spoke. In these dark days of novel coronavirus isolation it is so wonderful to see people with their spontaneous reactions and to laugh together.

There is a learning curve to using Zoom but we were able to make some decisions last night. First of all we decided that we would meet for our annual meeting through some sort of digital platform, probably Zoom. The main things that we will do at that meeting will be to elect our directors for next year and adopt a budget.

Whenever it safe to do it we will have a big party to celebrate the end of social isolation and present the Carrie Chapman cat award to Kathy Biegay. We are hoping we can do that in August. Just as we are hoping that our rescheduled famous person fundraiser with Kim Wafer Portraying Shirley Chisholm can I actually take place on July 18.

Stay tuned for more information about the virtual annual meeting.
