August 2020 THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER 9
Charbonneau
Women’s
Association
By LEE HARKER
Savor our friendships
with CWA
Savor is such a
wonderful word;
the basic definition
is “to taste
(good food or
drink) and enjoy
it completely.”
HARKER How do you savor
something? Bottom
line, you should slow down and
not hurry. Right now for many of us,
things have slowed down a great
deal, while for others it has been hectic
and crazy. For those of us feeling a
bit lonely and like the days crawl by,
I will offer you the phrase “Savor
Your Friendships.” Spending more
time talking on the phone, walking
throughout Charbonneau with a
friend or two, maybe even sending a
card or letter instead of a quick
email. Chatting about the daily activities
is still fun ... I can laugh about the
chipmunk I saw in our yard, groan
about my large quantity of weeds,
chuckle about a TV show or movie,
etc. We can all treasure and enjoy
our relationships even more by slowing
down and noticing what happiness
and light come from our friends.
The CWA Board realizes that we
will not be meeting in large groups
soon, so we have shifted gears to come
to all of you remotely. Our first official
event will be in a webinar format Sept.
14 with all our current and recent past
members invited to join us. You will
get to meet the current board, be updated
on the plans for the upcoming
year and be entertained musically after
the update with entertainment by
Roger and Nancy Wilhite, both retired
schoolteachers. A pair of “dueling pianists,”
they are Oregon’s answer to
Ferrante and Teicher. We enjoyed
them tremendously at our Holiday
Brunch last year and they have happily
agreed to provide musical entertainment
for our group.
How to join us Sept. 14, the
essentials:
� You may join the Zoom meeting
by internet using your cell phone, iPad
or computer, or with audio only from
any telephone
� An email will come to you a few
days before the event with a link to
click on to join the group
� Before the day of the meeting,
please download Zoom to your computer,
tablet or phone so you can join
us. For those of you who had concerns
about hackers or computer safety,
please be aware that Zoom has made
substantial changes in their security
procedures so that you can’t have
someone just “drop in”
� If you feel comfortable, you could
enjoy coffee or a meal with a couple of
friends and watch the meeting together.
For members who would like to
meet a few other CWA members, host
a small gathering in your home, or join
a group with other members. Contact
Lindy Anderson or Lynda Huber-Marshall
for arrangements. The board
members will also be hosting small
groups (two to four people) in their
homes for the webinars starting in October.
This first event is open to all. Starting
in October the events will be for
members only (and if you want to have
a guest, have that person join you for
the presentation):
� Remember that dues are only $20
this year
� Dues can be paid by placing your
check in an envelope addressed to Lindy
Anderson and then putting the
sealed envelope in the CCC Drop Box
just outside the entrance or by mailing
your check directly to Lindy Anderson,
7005 SW Country View Court, West,
Wilsonville, OR 97070
� October’s event will be on the second
Monday as usual. Mark your calendar
for Monday, Oct. 12, which will
include an educational presentation
We fully understand that one of the
true joys of the CWA events is always
seeing your friends and staying connected.
We hope that small groups will
be joining us for fun and information
while having a safe and yummy coffee
or lunch in a home!
