[SBU Board] Seattle Rec activities closed through 6/10 - implication for KO?

[Ann Romeo]

I also think that dog has barked, and we're not going to have the May KO.

Susan, David and I had a quick meeting this weekend to discuss the NLM
regional and next year's venue-hunt.  A couple things came to mind:  first,
any contract we sign going forward should have wording that allows for
cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances (like CORID).  Second, it is
likely there will be implications on the size of tournaments for the next
year, if not more--smaller venues might be more in line with our needs.  In
any case, we're pushing on to see what we can find for next year.

Interesting times, no?
