Dear Moss Society members,
Welcome! This is the June 2023 newsletter.
Pat Moss News
Pat received many cards and letters for her birthday. She said, “It was wonderful! I felt like we were all together again. Thank you.” She returned from the Moss Society trip in the British Isles on May 27th, and has been back at work in her studio.
Happy birthday Pat.
Moss Society News
The Moss Society trip was incredible. Pat’s newsletter from last week detailed the first week of the journey. If you have not seen it, you may read it by following this link. https://bit.ly/23wk22moss
Our tour was put together by Collette Travel, and it couldn’t have been more seamless. Airport connections and pickups were efficient, and the itinerary was well thought out. Everyone had a great time. Inquiries were received during the trip asking about the next one. No one wanted it to end. The Society office is in the early stages of planning for a river cruise for 2023. As details become available, we will include them in this newsletter.
