Cancellation of 9/19/20 Covered Dish Gathering
Even though there has been some loosening of restrictions of COVID-19 restrictions within the state, there have been recent college outbreaks and an incident rate above 1.03.
Because the Board has been entertaining concerns from community members regarding live gatherings, we must consider the safety of all. Even though we know the food will be safe, it is the gathering around the food, and live singing that are problematic.
I know many were looking forward to meeting in person again, but because of these concerns, and the opportunity to gather virtually with the international community, the executive board is promoting virtual meetings at this time.
I want to thank Mary Buckley for the perseverance and dedication she has shown during this difficult time to deal with a schizophrenic period in our history with this pandemic and offer her my deepest thanks for planning events that get cancelled.
I know we are not here to gain praise, but it has been difficult and frustrating for all.
