President's May 2022 Address

The month of May to me means the sight of new born lambs in the fields, pretty blossom erupting on the trees and the celebration of the birth of many of my friends and family so numerous birthday cards are chosen, written and sent this month.

Aptly May is said to be named after MAIA- the Greek goddess of growth and fertility. May is when the summer season really begins and personally it’s when I can look forward to spending more time outdoors. It is there that I feed my soul by taking some time to be still, look at the emerging bright colours of flowers and plants, stop what I am rushing to do and breathe in their sweet smells and to really listen to the sound of nature all around us. Hope this month for all of you is one of joy, and maybe some ‘personal’ growth. ‘ ‘Mindful in May’ could be our mantra this month.
