From MAS President, Mary Kiely-Falk:
Hello Members,
I received a call from Schmitt Music this morning informing me that they are closing off their auditorium spaces to any events including those that have been scheduled through April 4 due to company policy guidelines they will be following regarding the coronavirus outbreak.
This will affect our Song Review Meeting which is scheduled for Wednesday, March 25. Therefore, please note that this MAS meeting will be cancelled for the month of March.
We will keep you informed of any changes to our upcoming meeting schedules in the near future based on the coronavirus impact on meeting spaces and government guidelines as we become aware of them.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Regards,
Mary
