Hi everyone.
Happy New Year!
I know, we're a week and a half into the new year and it's already been a bit of a doozy, right?!
I want to take a moment to reflect on the past year. No doubt, 2020 was a really difficult year for so many. Truly, we have had our share of struggles but we've made it through. With that said, I am extremely grateful for all of the hard-work and dedication our staff and volunteers have put in to help keep FGC afloat. We would not be here had it not been for you all.
Considering we're still dealing with the effects of COVID-19 pandemic, for the time being, things are going to look a lot like they did last year. For our safety and well as others, our volunteer program is still closed until further notice. Our COVID policies and procedures are still in place; everyone must wear their mask at all times, keep your hands washed and sanitized, and maintain at least 6' of social distancing between each other.
In going forward with this year, let us to continue to focus on the positive, remain humble, and treat everyone how we would like to be treated, and take it easy on ourselves. Take time to breathe and reflect on who you are, who you want to become, and where in life you want to go. After all, life's a marathon, not a sprint. For it's only when we're good to ourselves can we be good to others.
Please continue to keep an eye on our website and social media pages for all updates pertaining to FGC. We've got some good stuff coming your way.
In the meantime, take care of yourselves and I hope to see you all soon.
Be well, and be safe.
Nette
FGC - Operations Manager
