Already tired of hunkering?

Yeah, we are too.

That said, we're as committed as you are to getting through this crisis.

People have begun using the expression "for the duration" and as it did during the Second World War, it seems to capture how to talk about a future that is totally unknowable.

Here are some answers to questions some of you may have:

Our March and April workshops at Artichoke and the American Legion are canceled. Artichoke Music has indicate that they expect to stay shuttered until at least the first of May. As of today, Post 158 is still open, but we feel it is sensible to avoid any risk for our Vets and Coaches.

As many of you have heard, McMenamin's has closed all its locations, so our Friends and Family Night scheduled for March 31 will be postponed until the Barley Mill Pub reopens.

We want to put in a plug for our generous friends at Artichoke Music. Like most non-profit businesses, Artichoke's margin is razor-thin and they can use our help, in any amount, to stay afloat during this period of no income. You can make a donation here and it will, indirectly, benefit SSV PDX as well.

Please continue to check our web site's News page https://www.ssvpdx.org/news and we'll keep you informed as information becomes available.

Thank you for your patience, and be sure to stay in the bubble of the song!
