These are certainly challenging times with the COVID-19 pandemic occurring around the world and in our own community. The recent decision to cancel K-12 schools in the state through April 24th along with many civic institutions has certainly distorted our daily social fabric unlike anything in our lifetimes. With that in mind and the ever widening disruption in our daily routines, the Rotary Club of Lake Stevens has decided out of an abundance of caution to cancel our weekly Friday morning meetings through April 24th. The shutdown of our meetings could be longer if there isn't a significant change in the COVID-19 pandemic here in Washington State.
And, just as importantly, our Corks and Kegs Annual fundraiser scheduled for Saturday, April 18th has been postponed until Saturday, September 26th. Those who have already purchased tickets can hold on to them since we are simply postponing our event. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact someone from our Club for more clarification etc.
Maintaining our distance from one another and doing the simple thinks to protect one another is essential at this time. No hugs, no handshakes and people maintaining a comfortable distance from one another is the safest practice at this time. In the meantime, Club members can be in contact with one another through our new Facebook social page, calling one another to see how they are doing or a simple text will send the same message.....is certainly an example to one other that you and I care about each and everyone of our members. Stay tuned. More to come as we continue to monitor the progress of defeating this virus.
