2020 Events Calendar
Why so few events? Lest we forget, in March 2020, everything shut down due to COVID-19. Like so many others, we couldn’t predict how long it would last and it took until late in the year before we realized this was going to be ongoing and rather than restart programs, we waited for 2021 to restart virtually.
All events are free to members in good standing (dues current), for lapsed members, guests, and new friends we request a $5 donation for events that are open to the public (most program meetings, picnics, etc).
Festivus! - Current Members Only
Our annual Festivus celebration is canceled due to COVID-19. I mean, really, what kind of organization would meet in person during a pandemic without a vaccine for a party?
R’amen.
