Dear Seattle Chapter ARCS Foundation Members and Supporters,   

We have been paying close attention to the concerns over novel coronavirus in our community, and we wish to update you, our members, supporters and friends, on the status of our upcoming March 9th Evening at the Burke.  Due to the recent  health recommendations made by King County, the decision has been made by the Seattle Chapter ARCS Foundation to cancel the March 9th Evening at the Burke. The health and well-being of our attendees is our greatest priority, and we did not make this decision lightly.  While we are disappointed to cancel this special event, we do hope to reschedule for a future date in the coming year, and appreciate your understanding as we determine the next steps. We are grateful to our Programs committee for their planning efforts and we will keep you updated as plans develop for a future event.  We wish to express our deepest gratitude to all of our members and supporters for their significant generosity, and we look forward to a future opportunity when we can celebrate and thank you in person.

If you have any urgent questions, please contact Jennifer Huck Arnold at jha@seattlearcsfoundation.org Thank you for your understanding and generous support of ARCS Foundation.
