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
Geo
