SSI MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL LETTER

August 1, 2020


Dear SSI Member,

Who would have imagined that our world just a few short months ago would be turned upside down and totally alter our social interaction due to the devastating COVID-19 virus. But this is our world today, and our circumstances now mandate that for SSI to continue our mission of life-long learning, we must adapt in order to protect and preserve our membership.

Because SSI is under the auspices of Portland Community College, we must do our part by abiding by their policies and regulations in conjunction with adhering to the State of Oregon’s social distancing and stay-at-home Executive Order. Therefore, we are transitioning as many of our activities as possible to a fully virtual online environment (Zoom.com) and our principle method of communication will be via our email newsletter (SSIPDXNewsletter@gmail.com) and our website (SSIPDX.org).

We realize that some members may be uncomfortable with online interaction or may not have computer access; we are committed to helping members achieve a good experience in connecting with our activities via computer or by phone. (An instruction sheet was mailed in July regarding joining the online Zoom format and is also available on our website.)
Due to the efforts and resources needed to conduct our online activities, although different, the SSI Board voted to keep the current low membership dues of $40/individual or $70/couple for the 2020-2021 membership year. We hope that you will continue to support SSI and our mission of life-long learning by renewing your membership by September 1. (Membership application enclosed; can also be found on our website under the “Join Us” menu button).

We are optimistic that an effective and proven vaccine against this deadly disease will be developed before the end of our 2021 membership year and we will, once again, be able to resume physical SSI activities. Be well, be safe. We can do this together.
If questions or need additional information, please contact me.
