[Communications] CCGA 8TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE

[jale natividad]

Hello,

I am a long -time attendee of the CCGA conference. I enjoy it and cherish
it as a long-time community event.

It is with a deep concern and sincerity that I email you to reconsider this
event in the wake of the Corona Virus.  I am asking that you cancel the
event in order in be part of the solution and be at the forefront of
reducing the spread of this deadly disease.

I am posting information that I hope does a better job at explaining the
situation than I could ever do.

 I share this with CCGA because this is an event dear to my heart and I
always look forward to this event. But today I am asking that you cancel
the conference. The inconvenience of canceling is worth it, the
inconvenience of canceling is better than the consequence of having people
contract this virus and see this virus grow exponentially.

Thank you for reading this.
