A Message To Those Interested &    The Impact Of School Closures

3/15/2020

 
To our current and future friends, families, and alums:

This week Governor Jay Inslee ordered the closure of all K-12 schools in Washington State between March 16 and at least April 27. We understand the need to safeguard the health and safety of our teachers, students, families, and community. We support the steps being taken and the various initiatives being implemented to respond to this public health emergency. Nothing is more important than SAFETY FIRST, which is the highest priority of every MCOW activity. 

The school closure will have a direct impact on MCOW in several ways. 
  • TPS has notified us that we will not have access to Meeker and we will not be able to hold any meetings there (or at any TPS building) until the schools reopen. 
  • We will need to make adjustments to a number of meetings and activities that had been scheduled to take place at Meeker during March and April. This timeframe is traditionally the kick-off for our Hosting and Ambassador Programs, with many events on the calendar. 
  • Our annual Informational Meeting (scheduled to take place on Monday, March 23 at Meeker) will be changed. 
  • The MCOW Board of Directors is working now on a revised plan for our March and April meetings and activities. As soon as possible, we will announce details on our website and Facebook page. 
Thank you for your patience and understanding. For the most current updates, please check back at our website or Facebook page. If you have an urgent question and need an immediate response, please contact me. 

During this time, we strongly encourage you to follow recommendations from the CDC (cdc.gov), the Washington State Department of Health (doh.wa.gov), and other public health authorities. LET’S ALL DO OUR PART, STAY SAFE, AND KEEP WELL! 

Charles Jorgenson
​MCOW President on behalf of the MCOW Board of Directors
