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

[Scott Chupack]

I was a vote for keeping options open just in case, but I think that this
is a very clear sign of what the Seattle policy is going to be for the
foreseeable future. A bridge tournament is much riskier in this environment
than a youth soccer game is. I've also been reading more about plans to
reopen the economy and it's very clear that testing will be nowhere near
safe enough in the near term. Finally, I've been thinking about all the
extra costs we would probably have to take to make this tournament safe,
including a vast distribution of Purel and other cleaning protocols.

I say that we officially cancel and that gives us time to consider the
cost-effectiveness of moving the Kent Sectional.
