Together…Working Toward Common Goals
2020 was definitely a year most of us are glad to put behind us. For a few people it may have been great, for most it was pretty bad, and very little in between. With everything that’s happening, life still goes on and bills still have to be paid. Adapting was the only way to pull ahead.
Last year most companies and individuals were forced to make changes to the way they did business – this was with clients/customers, suppliers, and employees. SFV CLCA was no different in this aspect, with many of the activities canceled and meetings now being held virtually. Times are definitely different.
The New Year is still uncertain – what additional changes we will need to make to get through it and how this year will end is yet undetermined. Hopefully, it will end on a more positive note than the one just completed. Now, with the new vaccines starting to be distributed, I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
No matter what, we will keep working hard for our families, our companies, our communities…and of course, our CLCA Chapter in the year ahead. And we must not forget to help others along the way. One way you can help our Chapter is to help us grow our Board so we can accomplish even more once things begin to open up again. Your involvement – perhaps even as a board member or committee chair – will ensure 2021 will be the successful year we all want it to be.
For me, working in landscape installations, there is no better feeling than creating long-lasting gardens that will bring years of enjoyment to our clients. As President of the SFV Chapter, I get to focus some of my time, experience, and creativity to plan and carry out positive things that bring the same kind of enjoyment and feeling of accomplishment.
I look forward to further building our network of peers who are looking and striving for similar goals. Happy New Year to all, best wishes and stay safe!
