As such, we will need to temporarily suspend our BRS Program Nights until further notice as well.

Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

We look forward to resuming our Program Nights when it is safe to do so.

We will let you know when the situation allows us to return to the Auditorium.

Respectively,

Pat Brennan, BRS Program Chair
