As many of you are aware of what is going on with not only in our country but around the world concerning the Corona Virus. There have been many recent guide lines set for the public health and safety with the potentially of more to come. I have been in discussion with my board and at this time we have decided to cancel the upcoming luncheons for the remainder of the season, or until furture notice. At this time we have rescheduled the March Madness event to May 14th as well as the Awards Banquet set to be held on April 23rd. These dates are set and with the venue, but may change with any upcoming updates from our local and federal goverments. The health and well being of our Cosmo members and there families our are top priorty. Moving forward I would encourage all of you to reach out to your fellow cosmo members to not only see how they are doing health wise, but also to see if they are in need of anything. We will get through this together, and together we will rise and grow our community again. Stay safe and God Bless Sincerly your 2019/2020 President Francesco Collura |
