To Our Friends and Neighbors in Dedham,
After careful deliberation, the Dedham Junior Women’s Club Arts at Endicott Committee has decided to cancel the 2020 summer concert series.
Although we had been hoping the concerts might proceed on a modified schedule, it is now clear that any large summer gathering will be inconsistent with recommended state and local public health guidelines, and related precautions necessary to reduce the rate of COVID-19 transmission in Massachusetts. The health and well-being of concert attendees, performers, and committee members are our top priority. While we will miss organizing the concert series, we want to do our part to ensure the safety of our community in these challenging times.
Our Committee would like to acknowledge the generous sponsors who had already pledged their support for the 2020 concert series: Dedham Savings Bank, Norfolk and Dedham, Wegmans, and the Dedham Cultural Council. And of course, many thanks to the Endicott Estate for hosting this well-loved event for more than 30 years.
DJWC is working with Dedham TV to rebroadcast past A@E concerts on Wednesday evenings this summer. Information about those virtual concerts will be available on the DJWC website and our Arts at Endicott Facebook page.
Although we won’t be gathering on the lawn this summer, we hope to see many of you in the months to come.
Sincerely,
The DJWC Arts at Endicott Committee
