<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Hello everyone,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Below is a response I got to requests for event submissions. I was wondering if a decision has been made for those who are in a similar position and are not comfortable returning in September but would lose pre-paid badges and/or Dealer Dollars. I responded that there is likely an executive decision needed to address this issue, since it likely not unique.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Shane Sauby</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Boardgames Supervisor</div><div><br></div></div><div id="ydp323d768ayahoo_quoted_4517763434" class="ydp323d768ayahoo_quoted"><div style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;"><div><br></div>

I know that sounds shitty to say but I'm not going anywhere until we have a vaccine and more testing. I also have too much exposure at my work to people since I am in a diagnostic lab (cancer not COVID) but none of us have been able to work from home.</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Anyway, I was wondering if you could help point me to the best contact...I still have my annual pass and I am hoping to push it out to next year instead of wasting it for a weekend I won't be there. (I might come for one day if it still happens, just to spend my dealer dollars....ugh my husband isn't going to be happy about that though...)</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Thanks in advance!<br clear="none"><div><br></div><br clear="none"><div class="ydp323d768ayiv5055093532yqt4888322484" id="ydp323d768ayiv5055093532yqt95439"><div class="ydp323d768ayiv5055093532gmail_quote"><div class="ydp323d768ayiv5055093532gmail_attr" dir="ltr">On Thu, Jul 9, 2020, 1:29 PM <a shape="rect" href="mailto:ssshanucon@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ssshanucon@yahoo.com</a> <<a shape="rect" href="mailto:ssshanucon@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ssshanucon@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote class="ydp323d768ayiv5055093532gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div><div style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">I have been given the go ahead to request submissions for events for Gateway in September.
