2020 turned out to be a challenging one for VAC, as it was for other Dataw clubs and residents. The year started well, launched by our annual meeting on January 21st. Special guest and local artist Aki Kato participated in a fireside chat with outgoing VAC President Marj Shymske; their conversation was inspiring on many levels. By March, the pandemic hit and we went into lockdown mode. Only slowed us down a little.
