I agree with Dick. I think we should really consider canceling the
picnic. We do not know what the future holds and, if we wait too long, it
could cause a hardship on the organization and attendees.

It is my opinion that we should postpone our picnic AND the>
raffle until next year.
This opinion is based on the following:
At this late date we are already BEHIND in our efforts to
sell raffle tickets and even if we start at a later date, we don't have
the time nor the opportunities to sell them as we normally do, thus
causing us to not have enough tickets sold to even come close to breaking
even. The proceeds of the raffle is intended to help finance our picnic
and certainly not for incurring a loss. If we also cancel the picnic we
do not have the cost of the band or the park , thus just moving
everything to next year.
Instruments for the raffle are all purchased .and can be held
over for next year at no cost to us. I'm sure I can secure Danny for next
year and I have no doubt we can do the same with Hershaull Park. Everyone
is in the same boat on this situation so am sure we will have no costs
incurred to do this.
If a vote is needed , I vote to CANCEL both the raffle and
picnic for this year and do it all next year the same as we would have
done this year. Too many of us are Seniors and a lot of us would have
reservations about attending even if restrictions have been lifted by
then. We will NOT just start to go back to normal once restrictions are
lifted.

I wanted to send a note to all of you and get your input to
the Covid 19 situation and our annual picnic. Having just read the letter
from Bluegrass on the Grass that postponed their festival for a year, do
we want to consider the same? At this point Danny Paisley is our
entertainment. Hershall park is scheduled for July 25th all day,
Grandpa's country kitchen is our caterer. The raffle tickets are ready to
go to the printer and should be sent by May 1st. All instruments are
purchased for the raffle and are in out possession. Please let me know
your wishes by May 1st. Please remember, that most of the members of out
organization are over 65 years of age.
Best regards
