Dear Pineridge Members,
This is to inform you that, due to the Covid-19 pandemic,
the May 3rd and June 7th meetings of the Pineridge Bluegrass
Club are now cancelled.
As you know, all Oshawa facilities, including community
centres such as Woodview Park, are now closed until
further notice. As it seems highly unlikely that things
will be open by May 3rd or even by June 7th, the Pineridge
Executive has made the decision to cancel both these
meetings.
Hopefully we will be able to meet again on September
20th as scheduled. However, we will monitor the situation
over the summer and keep you informed about this date
as well.
We are endeavouring to let all our members know about
this cancellation. As you can imagine, it is difficult
to get in touch with everyone. Therefore we would ask
you to please take some time to let your friends know,
especially those people who do not have e-mail as well
as those who are not members but who attend our meetings
regularly.
.
We hope that you will all stay healthy during this difficult
time and that everyone will be back together grinnin'
and pickin' soon.
Best Regards,
Your Pineridge Executive,
Don Adams, Gerry McCaie, Paul Puckrin, Sheila Meyer
and Len Sutton
