We are gradually emerging from event restrictions on group activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We have created a different sort of “Summer Casual” calendar for July and August. We will alternate short meetings via the Zoom video conferencing program with social events that practice the recommend social distancing and other recommended pandemic-era practices.

The Zoom dates may also be used as rain dates for scheduled social events, or may be used for social events if anyone wishes to host one and claims the date.

Although we have not met at Quigley’s since mid-March because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the restaurant remains closed, owner John Walsh has asked for a “trial meeting” at 6 p.m. Thursday, August 20. The aim is to help him get a feel for the proper layout to accomplish the necessary social distancing protocols.

Here is the current club calendar. Please check back on a regular basis to stay in the loop.
