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 --------- From: Linda Pflieger Date: Tue, Jun 30, 2020 at 9:14 AM Subject: To: Linda Pflieger 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. ______________________________________________________________________________ Celebrating Birthdays in July Kathy (Chucky) Liska -   July 5th Nancy Miller - July 12th Wishing You both a Very Happy Birthday^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sisterhood News.
