I reluctantly agree to cancel as well.

Friends - Good morning.
I will print off our final decisions on this matter and place them in the
Secretary's book.
Some additional thoughts, opinion.
1. Frankly, I believe I would opt for a well-drafted letter explaining
our thought process behind this cancellation. I tend to think of our
members as our customers at this event so the more a customer understands
the "why" of something the better. However, can live with either the
letter or the phone call. Just think a letter is a better way - I still
read a paper copy of the newspaper!
2. Hopefully a Board meeting can be scheduled for the early part of
this Summer as we may have to discuss our upcoming Concert season. It is
possible that there may be some limitations put on crowd size, the fire
company may have some limitations on use of their facility, etc. Not
trying to throw more wet water, but we may have to have a backup plan.
Frankly, I would not go to a baseball game this Summer should it open, and
am rethinking one of the Festivals I go to for a week. Just not sure at
this time.
Hope everyone is well.

George,
You have done a wonderful job as usual with everything regarding the
picnic. I know it is a tough decision to make this decision. I agree with
the general consensus that it is best to cancel for this year. I feel
certain our members will understand and will probably be relieved that they
do not have to make the decision to stay home.
I think a letter should be drafted to inform the members of our plans and
mailed to them. This way they won't be wondering what we are doing as some
will not be Facebook followers or have access to the website.
Jean if you are not comfortable going to the printer to pick up said
letter, I would be happy to pick them up as well as the envelopes and send
them myself. We can discuss the best way to do this, if you like.
I am also canceling the board meeting in May.
Thank you all for your input and my prayers for your continued health and
wellbeing are fervent.
Ursula

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
Geo
