Event Cancellations

Current Event Cancellations:

We have decided to cancel, postpone, or go virtual with many of our events for the remainder of the year. 

What we’ve learned from the spread of COVID-19 in communities across the nation and abroad is that social distancing and reducing opportunities for person-to-person contact are among the most effective means of prevention. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state officials and others also recommend not holding or participating in large events.
