Following the recent announcement of Washington State's plan to limit gatherings of 50 or more and the urging of Governor Inslee that Washington residents over 70 self-isolate immediately, as the demographic most at risk of severe infection from COVID-19, we have decided to CANCEL the next Dante Alighieri Society's Italian Language presentation and meeting scheduled for next Wednesday, March 25.
We will continue to monitor the situation and make a decision about the April 15 AGM and meeting closer to that date.
We understand that this is a developing situation and, as such, our policy will be responsive and in-line with the recommendations of Washington State and King County Public Health departments.
Please take care of yourself during these stressful days. Statemi bene!
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
A presto -
Dan DeMatteis, President, Dante Alighieri Society of Washington
