East Cobb calendar update: April event cancellations continue

A few April events we’d normally promote on our Events Calendar are being called off, and we expect more to come in.

Among them is the Walton Chorus Spring Concert scheduled for April 21. All public schools in Georgia are closed at least through April 24.

According to the Walton Chorus Facebook page:

“We are hopeful that we will still sing these pieces and perhaps make in-class videos of these great arrangements to share once we return to school. Our student officers did a terrific job of coming up with this year’s theme and with song ideas. Hopefully, we will still be able to make this concert a reality, but perhaps in a different format.”

The organizers of the Pope Band Recycling Event slated for April 25 sent us word that that event too, is being cancelled.

We’re going to temporarily suspend updating our Events Calendar for the time being, until public outings are allowed to resume.

But, we do want to know if you have cancellations/postponements/reschedulings of events, so we can share them with the community.

Please e-mail: calendar@eastcobbnews.com and we will post those changes in our news blog as part of our continuing coverage of our community’s response to the Coronavirus crisis.

If your business closed and is reopening, please e-mail us: editor@eastcobbnews.com and we will place it in our East Cobb Open for Business Directory (see the link below). We want to help local businesses get back on their feet with this free listing!

Contact us at the same e-mail address for news about efforts to assist those in need, health care workers, first responders and others on the frontlines of combatting Coronavirus in East Cobb.

Tuesday’s post about local businesses and people volunteering their time and resources to feed health care workers is a good example of what we’re trying to highlight.

Thank you for your patience and for keeping us updated on your group or organization’s activities.
