Hi from our home to yours! As most of you have likely heard, this week Maine’s governor, Janet Mills, has prohibited civic and recreational gatherings of more than 10 people through at least March 31. The CDC has recommended closing all events like this until at least May 10.
We take your safety seriously, so we’ve chosen to cancel all Thursday night dances through May 10. We’ll also postpone The Portland Triple Decker until later in the year. Stay tuned for a new date!
Together, we’ll weather this coronavirus crisis. Social distancing doesn’t mean we can’t be social! We’re planning some fun in our Facebook Group, so head over there to join in. We miss your faces and would love to see you on the internet until we can see you in person. <3
Take care of yourselves and wash often!
Questions?
Here’s a brief FAQ!
Q: When will we start dancing again?
A: Hopefully we'll resume dancing in May. We'll use our best judgment and will let everyone know in the coming weeks.
Q: Anything I can do to help PICD or our artists?
A: Without door admission income and our annual fundraiser, PICD will be losing some money as we continue to pay fees and ongoing organizational expenses during the month that we incur whether or not we host events. If you can support PICD with a donation to fill that financial gap, we'd appreciate that. Donate here or buy some new PICD swag.
You can also support artists who would have performed with us. Join our Facebook Group to stay in the loop on live-streamed concerts hosted by our musicians and see the other blog post from today for details on how to buy CDs, solicit services, or donate to them directly.
