Community Research Initiative decided last week to cancel their Spring Soirée scheduled for this Thursday, May 5, out of concerns raised by a recent survey in COVID cases. Explains CRI:
The health of our community is very important to us. With that in mind combined with the recent surge in COVID-19 numbers in Massachusetts due to the BA.2 Omicron variant Community Research Initiative has decided to cancel our Spring Soirée on May 5 that was to take place at the Memoire Nightclub.
While this announcement will come as a disappointment to many we want to keep our community safe by taking a proactive approach in prevent unnecessary COVID exposures.
