The survey results indicated that there are more members willing to attend the Annual Meeting in a large, indoor space with appropriate measures, than the number required for a quorum.    The event space is huge and can accommodate more than the number needed for a quorum with social distancing, masks required, and a commercially cleaned space prior to the meeting.  The Pavillion is a brand new venue with high end amenities; a commercial grade sound system, in-floor heating, and large rest rooms.

Distribution of all the reports will be sent by email  prior to the meeting.  There will be a chance to ask questions if the committee chair is present.  If not present, questions will be taken for publication with the answers after the meeting.  You will be receiving the Annual Meeting information packet in advance of the meeting by mail as usual.

Similarly, the uncertainties the Fall and Winter may bring determined that the holiday gatherings are also cancelled.
