[OMS_MANAGERS] How are Oregon Main Streets handling Halloween and annual meetings?

[Director LGMSD]

Hello everyone,

In today's Board meeting, we discussed a couple of upcoming events, and
were wondering how other Oregon Main Streets are handling them.

The first is Halloween; we're confident in doing our usual trick-or-treat
event, as it's completely outdoors. But Halloween is on a Sunday this year,
when almost all of our Downtown Businesses are closed. So, in your
communities, are you having your event on Halloween itself? On Saturday,
when offices are still closed? Or on Friday, when all Downtown businesses
would be open?

The second is our annual meeting. We usually conduct this as a banquet,
contracting with a local restaurant or caterer and having a dinner followed
by a dessert auction fundraiser. Our COVID numbers are not great, so there
is some trepidation among the board with having the event as we normally
do. What are you all looking at in terms of an annual meeting?

Thanks,
Taylor Scroggins, Executive Director
La Grande Main Street Downtown
