<p>Greetings, people of the Steppes. </p><p> As I'm sure all of you
know, Covid-19 is spreading in the DFW-area community. No one knows how
many cases there really are because test availability is limited, and no
one really knows what's going to happen. Gulf Wars has been canceled,
and groups all over the country have to decide how we respond and how we
do our part to not spread this disease. </p><p> To that end, Their Excellencies and I, along with the Baronial officers, have discussed this <span class="gmail-text_exposed_show">and
have decided that all official Baronial activities are canceled until
the end of the month. That includes both the business meeting and
fighter practices. </span></p><div class="gmail-text_exposed_show"><p> We did
not make this decision lightly. This is not a thing that any of us wants
to do. It is a decision that we believe is best for the health of the
Barony of the Steppes, especially for our most vulnerable members. </p><p>
We will re-assess the situation and decide what to do about April at
the end of this month. I know that a lot of you will also have questions
about what we're doing about Warlord. Right now, honestly, we don't
know, and we don't have to decide right now. We will make that decision
when the time comes with the data we have at that time. </p><p> We'll
get through this. We are still a Mighty Oakwood, and we will stand
strong through whatever happens. Meanwhile, be kind to each other, stay
safe, and wash your hands. </p><p> Yours in Service,</p><p> Lady Esmeralda Malaspina, Seneschal of the Barony of the Steppes<br></p></div></div></div>
