Not sure what to do for the best?

Post by no shoes »

Good afternoon.

Yes, its a long time since I hung around here with you all but luckily I catch most of you on FB.

I am really hoping you can help with some ideas?

I exchanged messages with Garry (Wino you know) yesterday and am really concerned for him and how down he is feeling. I just so want him to know that whilst we cannot be physically there with him, we are willing him on in his fight. I am looking for ideas of how, at this difficult time we might support him?

Things I have thought of so far include:
1. All sending Christmas and Birthday cards (as you know he shares a birthday with Jimmy)
2. A Zoom or FB Rooms virtual get together if he felt up to it so we can all say hello

Help?

A few of us did a Zoom Happy Hour in April and it was very fun. I think Garry popped in for a bit. Those of us who were on the old school BN Christmas Card exchange list may still have his address and can definitely get a card out to him.
well, ummmmmmm, yah, I guess I better come up with something witty to put in this spot since everyone is reading it.......

Garry is pretty self conscious about his looks right now so cards would be an amazing way to brighten his day.
