Our annual meeting in April has been cancelled as well. We need to have something similar stating the following: "Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, our annual meeting in April has been cancelled. We are currently looking at late June or August as a replacement date. As soon as the decision has been made, we will make an announcement. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time. We are all in this together."
