Welcome to the Swiss Club Tell

Thank you to all who attended our Annual General Meeting via ZOOM on January 23rd. We had more than 25 people participate, and so were able to conduct the business of the Club as usual. It worked out quite well given the circumstances, and was also a pleasure to see everyone. 

We’re almost into our second year now with modified activities due to the Corona virus, and while it is hard for us, we’ve all managed in some way to put up with it. With that in mind, there are no scheduled events for the Spring or Summer this year. Our first scheduled event will be to celebrate the Club’s 100 years (101 now!) and we would love for everyone to attend this very special occasion. The second event will be our Annual Christmas Dinner. 

At the meeting, members expressed an interest in participating in a Club ZOOM chat in lieu of regular events, and also suggested that the Club make donations to charity at this time of need. After the meeting, the Board conferred and will send an invitation and information to those whose emails we have when a date for a ZOOM get-together is arranged. Also, it was agreed that the Club will donate to St. Anthony’s Dining Room, Homeward Bound of Marin, and Second Harvest of San Mateo, in the amount of $500 each. 

Thank you to all the Board members who signed on for another year. They were re- elected by a unanimous vote. 

The Board met via Zoom to discuss the ongoing Covid-19 challenge and our upcoming events. We decided to cancel the Christmas party and the General Meeting in January. In lieu of the general meeting we will provide reports to the members by mail. We also discussed joining the United Swiss Societies. 

The Board met via Zoom to discuss the ongoing Covid-19 challenge and our by-laws. We decided to cancel the Marin Picnic. We will make a final decision regarding the Christmas party at our next meeting in October. 

The Board met via Zoom to discuss the ongoing Covid-19 challenge, our by-laws and this website. We decided to open membership year-round and will decide the fate of this year's Marin Picnic at our next meeting in July/August. 

Due to the ongoing health crisis we have had to cancel our Jass and Anniversary events. We look forward to rescheduling both events next year and hope you will be able to join us for the Marin Picnic in September.
