AOI in the Age of the Covid-19 Pandemic
After more than 25 years of continuous (well, 8 times yearly) luncheon events -- with the exception of February 2003's snowmageddon and Hurricane Isabelle in September 2003 -- the AOI Officers and Directors have put in place a hiatus until the "all clear" is given on the worldwide pandemic.
The AOI Board having met on Monday, July 13, 2020 and again on Sept. 22 cancelled its September and October programs and planned for a membership meeting in November (with a meal but no speaker) the objective being to conduct the annual election of Officers and Directors and discuss the future of AOI. On October 8th the Board learned the Mayor's Emergency Order will remain in effect through the end of 2020 and the District's Department of Health is extending its contract with the Capitol Skyline Hotel until December 31st necessitating CANCELLING the planned Nov. 20th luncheon and membership meeting.
The board agreed that if an in-person membership meeting and annual elections cannot be held in November because of the continuing coronavirus, the current AOI board of directors have agreed to extend their terms for one year.
A special edition of our newsletter has been mailed to notify members who may not rely on email or social media. Another special edition newsletter will be mailed in early November to share information about our plans.
Thank you for your understanding and constant support.
