<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Gotham friends.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You may have started to see some in person meetings or events in the works on fredslist or at your group meetings. We are happy to report optimistic pandemic news, in-person Gotham meetings are returning. For the groups that choose
to, we expect a gradual re-introduction of in-person meetings and events. We look forward to a safe and comfortable opportunity to start getting together.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are comfortable attending an in-person meeting or event, we hope you will do so. That said, there will continue to be plenty of Gotham opportunities to network virtually too and some groups may decide they prefer the virtual format.
The beauty of Gotham has always been, and continues to be, its flexibility.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With respect to COVID-19 protocols (including vaccine and masking), Gotham will be following the requirements of any venue, host or governmental regulation where our events take place. Of course, we ask you to respect the requirements
of any venue you choose to attend. Out of respect to your fellow Gothamites and guests, please do not attend an in-person meeting or event if you are not feeling well, you are exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms, have tested positive for COVID-19<span class="apple-converted-space"> or
have any reason to believe you have been exposed to (in close contact with) someone with positive COVID-19. </span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we have for the past two years, we will continue to watch the evolution of this ever changing pandemic and will be prepared to pivot as necessary. But for now, and we hope for the future, we look forward to the opportunity to be able
to spend more time together.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to your group leaders or any of us.<o:p></o:p></p>
