The Council received a letter from the Supreme Council strongly recommending that any event which the public gather be cancelled.
In accordance with the guidance, we decided to cancel the dinner/dance and reschedule for a later date. While difficult to make, we feel it is the correct decision. We will send out information in a few days to let people know about their tickets and auction donations.
