Mentoring Center Update

We want to thank Lee Cordochorea for updating the NWBA community on the current status of the Mentoring Center! In his words:

“It occurs to me the general membership may be unaware of something which is obvious to those of us in the thick of things.

The Cowlitz County Fairgrounds (where our Mentoring Center is located) is currently being used as an emergency center. No one other than emergency personnel have access at this time. Even if we could maintain safe social distancing during M.C. events, we would not have access to the M.C. at this time.

The Digital Demonstrations are not, in any way, a “replacement” for hands on events. They are, however, a timely and helpful fill-in while we endure the plague of the century. I offer my thanks to the Board and the Events Committee for this interim fix!

In-person events will surely resume once the fairgrounds are no longer needed as an emergency center. I look forward to seeing folk at the M.C. in person once this pandemic is in the past.”

Many thanks for the update Lee!
