Greetings! This is to announce two things that
were probably obvious.
1 – The MCI retirees WILL NOT be holding a gathering this fall.
Our spring gathering was cancelled
due to the restrictions imposed regarding the Corona virus. It was anticipated by most that life would be
returning to “normal” by this time, but it hasn’t. Although dine-in restaurants have reopened,
restrictions on group size and spacing make our customary event still impossible
to pull off. Added to the
recommendations for those in special groups, like advanced age and existing
health issues, this was not a difficult decision.
We are hopeful that by next spring the
Corona virus will be in our rear view mirror, and we will be able to hold a
gathering. Our web site will be updated accordingly, as soon as the
situation permits. If you know of retirees who don’t have email or check
our web site, please relay this on to them.
2 – Free meals at MCI for
retirees the first Wednesday each month are still suspended.
Several years ago, when Warden Jason
Bunting approved for retirees to enter MCI for a free lunch on the first
Wednesday each month, it was understood that future circumstances at the
institution might alter that arrangement. Most of us thought we had a handle
on what those circumstances might be, but the Corona virus added to the
list.
The restrictions noted in March
remain in effect. Obviously, this
circumstance will improve over time. What no one knows is what time frame
will be required. When MCI provides definitive information on this, we
will post it on the web site, and send it out as an email as soon as possible.
Until we met again, take care of
yourself.
