With the current pandemic top of mind, CANS board of directors and management are carefully monitoring and proactively planning to ensure that we do our part to limit the spread of the virus. To this end, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Spring Fling, which had been planned for May 28th, 2020.

The Spring Fling will return on May 27, 2021, and we look forward to your enthusiastic involvement. We will continue to monitor and evaluate our operational activities. As this situation continues to evolve, we will update you on any changes in our planned activities.

Thank you again for your continued investment in your Association.
