The A is courtesy of the National Arbor Foundation who sent one of our sisters 10 Douglas Fir saplings as a thank you for her support. I'm very excited about more evergreens. Somehow they help us get through the winters, as they keep their beautiful greenery all year round. Here are the newly planted firs in one of our garden areas.
Then, on Saturday, at our annual April Community Weekend, we organized our first all-community "Zoom meeting" with over 20 sisters who live in Erie/out of Erie, joining in via the popular online meeting option. Even our presenter, from St. Benedict's Monastery in Minnesota, gave her presentations courtesy of the ease of Zoom. Well.....I shouldn't say ease. It came off without a hitch and looked very easy--however, it took one of our very "techie sisters" most of two weeks to offer tutorials to every house to get them Zoom proficient. But, they did it and should be very proud of themselves. Everyone could see, everyone could hear and the gathering came off without a hitch. Even when the sisters at the Mount divided into smaller groups for discussion, the Zoomers were a discussion group, too. Historic, for sure!
Here's what the big screen at the Mount looked like.
There's our speaker, second row from the bottom, far left.
