It acknowledges a predictable rhythm to our existence, even as we experience the ups and […]

| 2020, Newsletter, Re-Blooming, September

What’s this? Something new? An IDGC Newsletter? Well, yes and no. In this Age of Pandemic, I suspect we’re all beginning to see “new” as normal. So, the arrival of a newsletter at the time of our September Kickoff is both new and strangely normal. No kick-off; a newsletter in its place. Making the best […]

Presidents’ Points October 2020
