In a crisis, humans spend time dealing with the crisis, and coping with the crisis. When you actively deal with a crisis, you become better informed about it, feel emotions about it, and try to respond to it. You watch the news, feel lonely or miserable, or sew masks for medical providers. Taking a break from the hard work of "dealing" is called coping. This is where "nonessential" becomes important! ​
Coping is a period of rest and escape. It can be healthy (taking a hike, doing a household repair, skyping with family and friends) and not-so-healthy (drinking, overeating, binge watching TV). Coping in both healthy and unhealthy ways would be perfectly normal for these abnormal times!

Creative expression is generally a healthy way to cope. You can use creativity to express deep emotions, as a well-earned rest from the news of the day, and to do things that help others.

There are creative ways you can help our community. You can post on facebook to connect to others and to alleviate the loneliness that can set in during weeks of isolation. We might raise funds for disaster relief, by hosting online sales of donated jewelry. We can offer inspiration, some laughter, and feelings of brightness during a bleak time by posting our own creations. 

Please think of ways the Club can become a meaningful place of refuge, companionship, and community assistance during our isolation for the weeks to come.

As per the last business meeting, I did create a youtube channel for the Gem Club. I also loaded a video on there, it is the same content as the facebook video but with nicer graphics.
