I look forward to passing the baton to Judy Bledsoe and Faith Campbell, who will be the new co-chairs of The Book Club.  Thanks to them for taking this over.

Due to the Covid-19 virus, we are still unable to meet physically in person; however, the Book Club will have a Zoom Meeting on the Internet on Monday, July 27 at 6:30 p.m.  Directions on how to access and participate in the meeting will be emailed to you.  Please be prompt signing in, so we can get started right away.  Also, please mute your microphone except when you are speaking.  The book selected for July is Inheritance:  A Memoir of Genealogy, Paternity, and Love by Dani Shapiro.  Peggy Christie will be the discussion leader for July.

Listed below are the titles of the books we'll be reading for the rest of the year and the names of the discussion leaders.

Hello all Coastal Ski & Outing Club Members,

Due to the Coronavirus, your board has decided to cancel our July & August meetings at the Myrtle Beach State Park.  We are essentially taking the summer off and will reconvene in September.  Collection of Annual Membership dues will begin now and are due by September 1^st.  Your board has decided to reduce the annual dues to $25 for 2020.   Please fill out the membership application, which was emailed to you in the Weekly Communication dated July1st and mail the application, along your check for $25 for each member, to CSOC, PO Box 8043, Myrtle Beach, SC 29578.

Your board is in the process of creating some activities that we will roll out to you for virtual participation.  Look for that information to come to you by email or on the website.  In the meantime, Judy Bledsoe has come up with a fun idea which will enable us to reconnect and get to know each other better.  Please send in one sentence, something about yourself that is a “Funny Fact” or Interesting Footnote.  Send as a reply to this email in order for these one-liners to be published on the CSOC website.

We are planning the annual Thanksgiving Party this year at a new venue and our Christmas Party is scheduled for Friday, December 11^th at the Grande Dunes Marriott Hotel.  There will be additional fees for these parties. The cost of the Thanksgiving party is yet to be determined and the Christmas Gala will be $40 for members and $45 for guests.

We will continue to monitor the Covid situation and keep the health and wellness of our membership as our top priority.

Stay Healthy and Safe,

 Best regards,

Elena Moglia
