We are sad to announce that our party and ceilidh dance scheduled for October 11 will be postponed
until mid-January. The holidays are getting closer, cooler weather is setting in, and the infection rate of
the virus has only just started to drop and is still very high, especially in Pierce and south King Counties.

The CDC has just released guidelines for the holidays and is recommending people get together virtually,
outdoors or just with immediate family. All of us want to stay healthy so we can enjoy the upcoming
holidays. We just want to stay healthy anyway! The risk of breakthrough infection is still very real. So,
we are making the decision to wait on dance until at least 2 weeks after New Year’s weekend. Hopefully
there won’t be a winter/holiday surge of infections like last year and cases will have dropped to a safer
level by mid-January.

We will be watching trends in the infection rate. Updates will be posted as we get closer to January.
Please do your part in putting this pandemic behind us. Stay safe everyone!
