Greetings HBYC members,

Just wanted to provide an update regarding the Commodore’s Brunch.

There have been concerns expressed by the Bridge about going ahead with the Commodore’s Brunch on April 19th, given the public health worries regarding the Coronavirus/COVID-19. Ohio Governor DeWine has banned “mass gatherings” of 100 people or more concerns for transmission of the virus. People have been encouraged to practice “social distancing,” companies are arranging for their employees to work from home, public schools have been closed, etc. Not that we want to take away the opportunity for our members to socialize in honor of Commodore and Lady Marcks, but we have concerns about doing so. We want everyone to stay healthy for the upcoming boating season!

The Brunch is officially postponed. The Winery is only open for retail sales, following the Governors order and the CDC recommendations. We do not have a date to reschedule as the situation is too fluid to enable us to do that, but we will keep you updated as to any changes to our schedule.

Thank you,

Janell Lundgren

Rear Commodore
