[Keystone-e-news] A new message from PRRT&HS President Staffieri - update

[Bruce F. Smith]

Folks,

For those concerned about the PRRT&HS’ financial obligations, the Penn Stater and PRRT&HS have mutually agreed that the situation is such that holding our meeting would be inappropriate. As a consequence, we have agreed to void the contract and the PRRT&HS has not financial obligation to the Penn Stater. If you have not already heard from the hotel regarding the cancelation of a room reservation for the meeting, you should hear by the end of the week. If you do not hear, contact the Penn Stater and cancel your reservation directly with them.

Stay healthy,
Bruce
Bruce Smith,
Auburn, Al


To all PRR T&HS members.

     It is with great sadness the I have to inform all our members that the PRR T&HS Annual Meeting planned for May 13-16 2020 has been cancelled. The annual meeting hotel, The Penn Stater has contacted everyone who have already made their reservations, that they have been cancelled.

     Everyone who already sent in their registration forms, will have their original checks returned by the registration committee as soon as they are able. Please be patient.

     I had high hopes that by mid-April that this situation might be better, and by May we could return to some normality, but that is not to be the case, at least at this writing.

     According to our by-laws we are required to have some form of annual meeting, and the possibility of meeting later in the year will be looked into.

     We do have society business to take care of regardless. We have two board positions that need to be voted on, along with two majority vote questions concerning two of our chapters. We will be putting a letter together to be sent out to all current members, along with a self-addressed, stamped post card for you to “check off” and return. Your participation is important, just like being at the regular general membership meeting.

     For now, the best thing that we can all do is “stay safe and well”. Please follow all the recommendations to protect yourselves, and God willing, we will all be together very soon.

Steve Staffieri

President PRR T&HS
