We are steadily keeping  finger on the pulse of the situation. Slowly but steadily we are moving toward returning to a time we can again bring events back to a full schedule. Currently, plans appear to be bringing some businesses back into operation in Virginia beginning 28 April. However, the shelter at home order remains in place through June 10th. Surrounding states within the WDC Region vary broadly in schedule and restart plans. Further out in our area of participation and influence, there is not any fixed forecast on return to routine operations for any given entity. 

Due to scheduling conflicts on the National Office end in Topeka, the National Region Conference call scheduled for this evening was canceled. With ever moving developments related to the pandemic, and many state and local governments are announcing the start of easing restrictions.  Message from Topeka is "While we don't expect to the green flag to be waived everywhere, we believe that our Race Safe guidelines for our programs will be paramount in conducting events." Guidelines are being developed on safe event operations.

With our "Best Guess Hat" on, we are looking at a restart of a suspended season by the latter part of June. Washington DC Region has asked our Program Directors to reassess the potential season ahead with the probability of starting in late June. Reassessment of the season will begin with a clean sheet approach to what we have available to us for the remainder of the year. Our target date for the reassessment plan is the May Board of Directors meeting on May 12th via teleconference.We all face the difficult part of what this situation has done to our membership's ability to participate. In general, the world and U.S.economy has taken a devastating hit. Results are not pretty and has a direct affect or influence on every member of the Region.

We will update any information as it comes available or changes. Tuesday reports will continue at least through June 9th Board of Directors Regular Meeting.
