In a special conference call March 13, board members agreed that managers will need to remain at their workshops and a meeting at this time would inadvisable.

The board will consider rescheduling a meeting if possible. Other discussions will include plans for a vote by email on election of officers for the next fiscal year.

Shops that have made reservations with Lodge of the Four Seasons will need to cancel those plans individually.

The move came as the virus and related cancellations were in extreme flux. The federal Center for Disease Control and the State of Missouri had recommended cancelling or postponing events of 50 or more people for the next eight weeks, with the exception of educational institutions, daycare facilities, and business operations.
