Little Roundtable Cancelled
In light of the restrictions imposed by the City and County governments, the April 2 Little Roundtable is cancelled. It doesn’t look promising for the April 22 regular Roundtable meeting either. Even if larger meetings are allowed, it isn’t clear whether the venue will be able to accommodate us. We will wait another couple of weeks or so to see what develops. Continue to check here, on Facebook and monitor your emails for further updates.

I will let you know if there are any specific protocols that have to be followed at the meeting – I certainly hope not and that we can resume what passes for a normal life by then. We are still planning on a Board meeting in July to address the issues facing the Roundtable. Exactly what form it will…
