    President’s October Newsletter

    October 2020 Dear Fellow Skalleagues, I hope this finds each of you in good health. It has been a difficult year for many, and I sincerely feel for you; especially those who have experienced a job loss or a reduction in your work schedule due to Covid-19. I have some good news to share with you. The Boston Skål Club is now the SECOND largest club in the WORLD.

    COVID-19 UPDATE: APRIL MEETING

    Good afternoon fellow Boston Skalleagues, I start this communication with a heavy heart as I have heard some of you have been furloughed until we can get ahead of this pandemic.  I am truly sorry because if there was a time when we need to gather and be among friends, this would be that time. I must once again deliver unfortunate news.  Honoring the Governor’s decision to ban gatherings of more than 25 people, our April meeting at the Hampshire House has been cancelled.  I know you share my disappointment as we were preparing to celebrate our Past Presidents.  I want to thank both Tom Kershaw and Michele Giacomozzi for…
