No club meetings or events until further notice

, , , , ,

Ohio, the nation, and the world have paused to slow the spread of the potentially-deadly coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 disease. In compliance with state and local restrictions, all meetings and events regularly staged by the Cuyahoga Astronomical Association (CAA) are canceled; none of the group’s scheduled activities will take place until further notice. Updates will be published on this website and on the CAA’s Twitter.

In the mean time, we hope you and your loved ones are healthy and will remain so. Remaining apart is currently our only means of prevention. Let’s hope medical science can quickly find effective treatments and vaccines so that we can be spared future illness, death, and hardship brought on by COVID-19.

April meeting canceled

The monthly meetings of the Cuyahoga Astronomical Association take place at the Rocky River Nature Center which is affected by the park facility closure, therefore canceling the club’s April meeting.

Our meetings have become very popular, filling the nature center’s main meeting room with closely-spaced audience members — a potentially risky situation for contagious disease spread.

The CAA is willingly cooperating in efforts to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus in the period of this spring’s Public Health Emergency. COVID-19 is a serious disease and it is only prudent, if disappointing, for some events to be called off. For more information on this public health issue, visit the Ohio Department of Health’s website.

In the mean time, stay healthy and work to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to others; the sooner it stops, the sooner we can get back to normal.
