A Message From Our President, Joanne Fisher
July 2020 Meeting Planning
Dear SCWG members,
For July 18, we are tentatively having our first in-person, post-COVID-19 meeting that will be streamed on Zoom. The in-person meeting is to be held at the Eau Gallie Public Library. (see the Meeting Announcement, above). We don't have a guest speaker, but our Webmaster Dan Fisher will talk to you about computer security: “I’m just a lowly author. Who would want to hack into my computer?”
During this COVID-19 situation, I have chosen to pay attention only to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Johns Hopkins University (a teaching and research facility), President Trump, and Governor DeSantis. We will abide by their recommendations.
All of these sources have been recommending caution, especially with at-risk persons. We are still in a declared National Emergency concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) outbreak. In it, among other things, the President urged the cancelation of events involving groups of people, and urged “social distancing.”
PLEASE! DO NOT MAKE CRITICAL HEALTH DECISIONS BASED ON POLITICAL SPEECHES OR SOCIAL MEDIA!
For the latest status and recommendations regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, please consult the Center for Disease Control website: CLICK HERE FOR CDC
Be well!
Joanne Fisher
President, Space Coast Writers’ Guild
