An Important Note Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic and Event Cancellations
Dear Handbell Musicians and Enthusiasts,
During this time in which most Americans have been asked to stay at home to help slow and eventually stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus, events across the nation are being postponed or canceled. In the list below, we have indicated those events for which we have received notification of cancellation. However, we recommend that you check regularly the websites for events you may be considering to be sure of their status.
We invite you to join our Handbell Happy Hour chats, where we have a good time chatting, laughing, and sharing. Happy Hour details and times are at https://handbellmusicians.org/handbell-happy-hours/
Please stay United Through Our Musical Art and, above all,
and stay well! |
