President JT Forbus (Accounting | Bogdan & Frasco) welcomed everyone to the January 12, 2021 meeting held virtually at the Tadich Grill. He began the meeting with an inspirational poem, In Spite of War, by Angela Morgan. The message was that life continues even when terrible things happen and we are encouraged to look at the best surrounding us and not focus on the negative things in our world. President JT also announced that Disneyland would be transformed into a COVID-19 vaccination super site.
