Glitzy Chicks and Diamond Divas July Newsletter
Good Morning,
I am sending you the July newsletter via email. It is not posted on the blog as of yet. my son, Rob will take a look, it might be that there are 140 posts in the blog that is causing this, so may it needs a format update. Just so you know, you will see a few blank boxes as you scroll through. Several of the quote inserts that I include in the news every month, did not copy over too well when I pulled it over to email. But they are posted at the end of the newsletter. I hope you enjoy them. Sorry to send you this with formatting issues. Computers are great until it does not do what you are use to having them do. Have a good day!!Hugs Linnie---------- Forwarded message ---------

Glitzy Chicks and Diamond Divas July News
Hello Everyone,
I hope you will enjoy a safe and Happy July 4th, this coming weekend. We are in phase 3 and fingers crossed that we enter phase 4 soon.
We are living through history. When people look back on this time it will tell a story of what life was like living during the COVID 19. It is hard to make sense of what is happening. Listening to the news that changes from day to day and depending on what channel you tune into, each have a different spin on what is truly happening. We just need to continue to believe that what we are now doing is keeping us healthy and safe. Over the past 4 months, we have already made changes to our lifestyle and habits and have adjusted the best ways we can and it has become the norm.
Great news is that several gals in our chapter have gotten together to see each other and practiced social distancing. It is uplifting to be able to talk and laugh and enjoy each other's company again. Marty has planned an event to celebrate July 4th this week, I hope you are able to attend. I guarantee you will feel so much better, especially if it will be the first time you will be socializing with people other than your family.
In the months ahead, if you happen to come across something our group would be interested in going to, maybe several of us would be interested in going. It can be done safely and it will be so good for our mental health. If you want to email it out to our group or if you want to send it to me, I will be sure to get it out to everyone. I know someone will be interested in hearing about it. It could be a Red, Black or summer color hat gathering or non hat gathering. Just that we can get together is what is important.

TIna Sawyer has a craft booth where she is going to be displaying her wreaths and cards at crossgates mall in Artique store, It is the sister store to the exit 8 store. Artique is located by JC Penny and the Pottery Barn at Crossgates. The store was open one day and then COVID19 hit and it had to close. Once the malls are able to open safely, this would be a fun shopping trip to visit Tina and see her creative touches.__________________________________________

Happy National Red Hat Day
April 25, 2020
April 25, 2020
Today marks the 22nd anniversary of the Red Hat Society
Celebrating National Red Hat Day when several Chicks attended a Fashion Show Luncheon to support the American Legion Post in Halfmoon in 2019.
Hello Everyone,
I sincerely hope that
all of you and yours are safe and in good health during this difficult time. To
those of you who are working and/or have family members working in the essential services workforce - a special word of thanks to
you and your family as you go out into a scary world every day. After the 9/11 attack our world
changed a lot and now it seems like our world will change even more.
Lets remain hopeful that we will soon be able to enjoy getting together to have fun. We will just need to continue to evaluate social distancing as time goes on or when we hear that our Upstate region is able to regain some normal life again.

LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU-
If the mountain seems too big today, then climb a hill instead.
LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU-
If the mountain seems too big today, then climb a hill instead.
If the morning brings you sadness, it’s okay to stay in bed.
If the day ahead seems heavy, and your plans feel like a curse,
There’s no shame in re-arranging. Don’t make yourself feel worse.
If a shower stings like needles, and a bath feels like you’ll drown.
If you haven’t washed your hair in days, don’t throw away your crown!
A day is not a lifetime, a rest is not defeat.
Don’t think of it as failure, just a quiet, kind retreat.
It’s okay to take a moment from an anxious, fractured mind.
The world will not stop turning while you get re-aligned.
The mountain will still be there when you want to try again.
So climb it in your own time – and LOVE YOURSELF till then.

Coronvirus Prayer
Jesus Christ, healer of all, come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love. Stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow. Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care. Heal us from our fear, which prevents nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another.
Heal us from our pride, which can make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders. Amen.
Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know your peace
Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help those affected and who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know your protection and peace.
Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. May they know your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth.
As we stay in our homes to be safe and keep others safe, stay with us as we endure, persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us your peace. and heal us. Amen

___________________________________________________________________________
Hello Everyone,As I begin this month's newsletter I am reflecting on how fortunate we were to have the opportunity to attend the events that started off our 2020 event calendar. Beginning with the Catch Your Breathe Luncheon then on to the Let It Snow, Let Us Glow Luncheon, then on to the 9 to 5 Musical, then the Valentine Day Dinner, and on to the Wretched Access Tea Party and then the March Fling Luncheon, before this terrible and dangerous virus came to our country.
Our lives have certainly changed in the past two weeks. Some of us have friends and family who have contracted the virus and now in the midst of trying to get through it. Many of the events that were slated for the upcoming months have been cancelled. Some will be rescheduled for next year.
We are now asked to stay in our home and only go out when absolutely necessary. Personally, the last time my son and daughter's family was on 3/15 to enjoy an early St Pat's Day dinner. I am thankful that we were able to have the day together. Facetime and Google Duo have become part of every other evening for Paul and I when we can check in to talk with them and see our grandchildren. I keep in my mind that we will all get through this.

Words to Ponder -
Bits and Pieces
Superior Cleaning and Maintenance Service
Marian's Puma's daughter, Adrienne is self employed and out of work like most of the workforce due to the virus. For a nominal fee, she is willing to do things for others who are not able to do for themselves.
Her business was called Superior and they did cleaning and maintenance service.
She and her partner have done all kinds of home and building maintenance including electrical, plumbing, painting. cleaning, and landscaping.
She is willing to run errands, shop for others and do almost anything else they need. I know we are all social distancing but perhaps some of us have a need she could help with while still avoiding any close contact. If you are interested in any of the services that Adrienne could help you with, her information is below.
Contact: Adrienne Puma at 518-221-7008
Phone is answered as Superior.
Leave a message if no immediate answer.
Thank you
Linnie

On the Lighter Side of Life
Note from Linnie
I don't know about you but I am trying my best to keep busy but there is just so much cleaning a person can do😊.
I don't know about you but I am trying my best to keep busy but there is just so much cleaning a person can do😊.
So far,
Since my hairdresser is closed, I dyed my hair, a little on the darker side, but it did cover the grey!💂♂️
I signed up for an online course with Babbel - and I am learning how to speak Italian!
Since my hairdresser is closed, I dyed my hair, a little on the darker side, but it did cover the grey!💂♂️
I had a home spa day, did a relaxing pedicure, watched an old movie and had a glass of wine!
Cleaned out my filing cabinet, no need to keep any work related followup papers!
Been face timing with my family almost everyday. It lifts my spirits to see and hear Athena and Jensen voices and see them in person. when we are on line.
What have you all been doing to keep busy and your mind off having to stay home?
It would be fun to know what every one is doing while we on staying in

In Closing:
Please pray for each other and our family members and our neighbors, for our president, our governor and for our country and our military and police, first responders, and correctional officers, for all those who are required to work at their jobs during this crisis whether is private industries or in the food supply and retail areas and in the sanitation and housekeeping fields. For the members of our communities who are kind enough to be making a supply of the much need face masks and donating them where there is a need.
Special prayers for the nurses and doctors in and outside of the hospitals and for all those in the medical field, especially the retired nurses and doctors who are coming out of retirement to assist in the hospitals. There are so many more to mention and I apologize, for anyone who I neglected to list.

That is the news right now.
My thoughts are with you. Please stay healthy and safe and strong and positive.
