DEAR ENCORE FRIENDS—DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC, MOST IN-PERSON ENCORE ACTIVITIES HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED. PLEASE CHECK OUR WEBSITE OFTEN FOR UPDATES.

Your health and that of your family and friends is of paramount importance to us. Most activities are meeting via ZOOM (except for tennis) and I encourage you to check out the site and participate!

I am excited to be your new President and, with our new Board, will do everything I can to keep you up-to-date of our activities and well informed of our plans going forward. In this issue, we are including a POLL to gauge your feelings on socializing this Fall. It is easy to take. Just click on the blue POLL word and you will be whisked away to our Poll. Please take a minute to complete our POLL (click now) in this issue. We would like to know how you feel about Encore Club of New Canaan socializing in this time of “social distancing” so that we may plan ahead for appropriate activities. Your input is very important to us.

For those new to our site, I welcome you to the Encore Club of New Canaan. Sharing friendship and camaraderie is the purpose of our club. Encore is a woman’s club founded in 1985. There are lots of activities and events each month designed to bring people together and fuel the body and mind. One of the best things about Encore is that members get to pick and choose their activities each month! This is a purely social club.

Although we are on temporary suspension of in-person activities, we will be up and running again as soon as it is safe. Please explore our Events and Activities as we have identified some of our favorite books, films, hikes, recipes and more for our membership to share on their own.

The Encore Club of New Canaan welcomes members year round and you don’t need to be a resident of New Canaan to join Encore. We also welcome members from surrounding towns. We encourage you to JOIN us!

Our Board is meeting this summer to discuss possible options for the Fall. We WILL be back in full SWING when possible. In the meantime, please Please DO stay in touch with each other and please PARTICIPATE with us online. We are all UNITED!

Be Well!
