OPENING KICKOFF Almost seven months ago COVID-19 hit our country hard and all of us have been challenged in ways that we could not have expected. Through the unknowns, the twists and turns of both business and societal conditions, we have had to change our everyday way of life. We shifted from an in-person work environment to working from home and video calls. At the Bowl, we have postponed some events and have had to change how we do others. In addition to health fears of COVID-19 and the general unknown, we have emotionally charged social issues as well.
FIESTA BOWL ORGANIZATION NEWSLETTER
We will get through this, look for opportunities and learn as we face adversity. At the Fiesta Bowl, we have ramped up our activities to move ahead with some of our existing programs, been creative to implement new initiatives and continue to plan for our major year-end events, with necessary adjustments. Through the challenges we have faced in the past seven months, I still feel we are fortunate for what we have. I appreciate the strength of this organization even more. WE ARE FIESTA! We will have a flurry of activity over the next few months. Like in many past years, we will have multiple events happening in the same week. You will read about some of them in this newsletter and more to come. I’m happy to see our calendars filling up with community events that support our teachers, nonprofits, college football fans and so many more. I hope to see you joining us along the way. Thank you for your support.
