<p class="MsoNormal">I hope you are well and having a lovely day. Just wanted to share an update from LRA. As a result of inquiries from so many of you,I contacted David Yaden and the Board regarding having th RHoF Mentoring Session shared virtually. Below
are excepts from his very gracious response. As a result, I have asked to have all of the names of those who contacted me about not attending, removed from the program. I know our mentoring session is so well attended because of your fabulous reputations.
Hope we will be able to have a strong in person showing next year with Norm Stahl leading the charge. <o:p></o:p></p>

weighing many options, made the difficult decision to move ahead with the in-person conference. We are sending out both an e-blast and newsletter in the next few days indicating that LRA will require the following onsite at the in-person annual meeting:</span><o:p></o:p></p>

the audio/visual requirements of an onsite conference <i>and</i> to build a simultaneous virtual platform. In short, LRA at this time has a budget only for one approach--not both. “</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0433FF">"I agree that on-going health conditions throughout the country and Georgia have raised legitimate concerns among some LRA members about attending the annual meeting. One solution to these challenges on site
has been to require proof of vaccination, masking in all sessions, social distancing in seating arrangements, and other health precautions which we are pursuing with the hotel. We realize, however, that LRA cannot make complete guarantees of safety--try as we
might. You have my best wishes to make those decisions which are in yours and RHoF's best interest." </span><o:p></o:p></p>
