COVID-19 UPDATE:
“Older adults and people who have severe underlying chronic medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at a higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness. People who are at higher risk are encouraged to avoid crowds as much as possible.”
For that reason, all in-person chapter meetings, are cancelled through December.
Small group outings may proceed with all of the proper precautions taken about social distancing.
