A Step Back

 

  

It was our hope to present our meetings and program in person in September unfortunately,  a turn in the Covid and area bridge maintenance has put us back to online meetings and programs. We know this is disappointing but for the safety of our members and guests we deem it necessary.  The Dalles Bridge work through the winter will have a great impact with our Washington members and given the upsurge in the Covid virus we feel we have made the right decision.  We will be meeting on line starting September 11,  2021 with a historical and genealogical overview of John S. Woodruff, the hermit of the cave. Mr. Woodruff was a historical figure in the Dalles and his life and family will be presented by Georga Foster. 

The online program will begin at 11:00 am. Instructions and invites to follow.
