Milwaukee Sketch Club Last Session Tonight, Closed rest of season

From: Thomas Piedt <piedt1@yahoo.com>
 Morning everyone

So far 20 have responded of 36 active members. I expect  more  responses through today. Of the 20
13 have suggested closing for the season, 7 have responded close for  a month and reevaluate.

The majority of  the responses are in favor of closing for the season (at this point) as well as Art and myself.  Presently uncertainty rules the future and Art and I are responsible for supporting the safety of our  members, models, family and friends. There are two uncertain sessions and an uncertain dinner following mid April and one thing is for sure - uncertainty - will continue mid April.

Based upon the brief period in April, Art and I have decided to hold sketch tonight (for those who wish to attend) and cancel for the  remainder of the season - erring on the side of caution. 

All current members will be reimbursed for the 6 sketch sessions missed by reducing club dues next year $19.60 each. 

Art and I hope all our members, family, friends, and the  community at large get through this situation safely.
 Art and Tom - see you down the road.
