Meals are no longer being delivered from Coxsackie. Discussion ensued. Rick said that there is a hiring freeze at the County. He believes that the congregant meals will return in November.

It was suggested that the event be held in the pavilion or at the Village building. It was noted that the Owl Auction has been canceled due to COVID-19.
