CA Day has been cancelled due to community concerns of COVID-19. The medallion hunt will still take place with Equity Bank sponsoring the event. CA Day 2021 will fall on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Possible scenarios were discussed to recognize the anniversary including a moment of silence and police recognition. Members will consider ways to honor the occasion and possibly reach out to the American Legion.
