I hope this message finds you and your loved ones in good health and spirits. The coronavirus has significantly impacted our communities and many of our day-to-day activities. Due to the alarming health and safety concerns we have made the decision to postpone the Lushootseed Conference scheduled on April 25th. We hope to secure a date in the fall and will contact you again as soon as we have more information. In the meantime, on behalf of the Board of Directors we wish you and your loved ones the very best of health.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any thoughts, questions or concerns.
