Cancellation of group meetings due to COVID-19
Unfortunately, the Hellenic Writer's Group of Washington DC has had to cancel its scheduled meeting and presentation on March 28, 2020 at the Hellenic Center in Bethesda, MD due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The speaker, Dr. Mary Pittas-Herscbach who was to give a presentation on works by the Greek novelist Nikos Kazantzakis, will give the talk at a later date.
The COVID-19 virus has reached Montgomery County, MD where hundreds have been exposed to it.
As a result of the COVID-19, the Hellenic Center is closed.
Because there is no vaccine or therapeutic drug at this time for the virus, the only way to fight the disease is through prevention - like staying at home and washing hands.
All upcoming HWGW meetings (April, May, June) will be cancelled until further notice.
Stay Safe!
