Important Coronavirus Message from President Barry Buschow
Old Rag members, we need to be cautious and consider the safety of our membership in the present situation with Coronavirus. Therefore, all Old Rag activities including the April 13 membership meeting are cancelled. If individual members wish to work on volunteer projects, please do so only if you can do it safely for yourself and others. We will try to keep you up to date on other cancellations among our partner organizations. The training committee is working on alternative options for Class 10.
Stay tuned and stay well!
Barry Buschow
