Legionnaires,
 
       Due to the surge in Covid 19 cases throughout the State and especially in Albany County the 2021 Mid-Winter conference has been cancelled. Commander McDermott and I spoke at length this morning and our main concern was the health and safety of our members. We could not bring Legionnaires from across the State together and risk there lives. The Finance Committee will meet on ZOOM next week to discuss and hopefully give a recommendation to the Executive Committee for the 2021 budget. The Mountain Camp meeting will also be a ZOOM meeting to be held shortly after I receive the 4th quarter statement from Hugh Johnson advisors, our portfolio managers. The Boys’ State Directors meeting will also be a ZOOM meeting sometime in the middle of January to discuss and approve there 2021 budget. The Department Executive Committee will also be a ZOOM meeting to be held the last week of January. I would like to thank Anne Rounds, Cassi Harden, Kristine Delap, Charlie LaHaise and Ann Brown for all there hard work in putting together our “Plan – B” Mid-Winter conference there dedication to the Department did not go unnoticed and I can’t thank them enough. A big shout out to Harvey Martel our Mid-Winter chairman and his committee for putting up with me as we tried , and would have succeeded, in putting this together.
