An Evening With Dr. Sunita Puri ~ Canceled

As everyone should be aware, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and California public health officials issued a policy stating non-essential gatherings over 50 people be postponed for at least 8 weeks due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation.

Given our event falls inside of this window, An evening with Dr. Sunita Puri on May 5th at the Marjorie Luke Theatre has been cancelled for now. Our HSB team cares deeply about this event and the local community.

We understand this is an unprecedented and challenging time for everyone. We would like to thank you for your tremendous support, as public safety is everyone’s top priority right now. Please know that we are truly saddened by the seriousness of this pandemic, but we are hopeful and remain positive for the inevitable upturn.
