CANCELLED - GEAR Rally in Lewisburg

Dogwood - we received the following email from Gaye Young.

9/14/2021


Hello all,

 

After having a meeting with Dr. Bridget Morrison of the Greenbrier Health Department and Kelly Collins of WV State Fairgrounds, along with Gary Milner, Phyllis Britz, Northern Regional VP, Garnetta Mallory WRVP, and Dennis Ducharme, Senior VP, the outlook in Lewisburg WV is devastating as they are at max capacity at the hospital with emergency ventilators being shipped to them. There have been too many breakthrough covid cases along with deaths. Afterwards, I had a conference call with my executive board and we decided to cancel GEAR until next year.

 

The health and welfare of our members are of utmost importance to me, as most of you know I dealt with this last summer.    It is with a heavy heart that we had to make this decision to postpone.  You all have worked so hard and have been so excited that we were finally getting to enjoy our area rally after not having one for 3 years.

 

I appreciate each of you and your dedication to our Eastern Area and FMCA.  A notice will be emailed out to all of our attendees by FMCA and refunds will be given.

 

Be safe as you travel and take care of yourselves by getting the vaccine, booster, and wearing masks.

 

Gaye
