This looks to be a good convention and near Gruen land.
Convention Website
Schedule
Thursday the 25th there is a Gruen Presentation
4:00-5:00 Presentation: Gruen Watches (302-04)
I'm sure we'd be party crashers unless it was Bruce, Mike or Barry presenting 
See you there!
Gary

Wow, yeah, any idea who’s presenting Gruen & what? I plan on being there—but have to join first 
Also, any interest in a Cincy sightseeing visit while folks are around, either before or after? Thought maybe with planning we could get access to Time Hill & USPC Norwood, visit the Cleves shop (en route to Wadsworth plant in Dayton ky), 5th street, any other points of interest. Plus a brewery or two, if desired, to spice things up.
Thoughts?
My two caveats:
1) I'm wrong many times a day --just ask my wife!
2) Always seeking to learn more

We'll find out soon enough who will be presenting, Cleves did the last two presentations for the NAWCC. You don't have to be a member to see any presentation, however to get to the mart you should become a member at least if you want to get in early. If you decide to join there are special new member discounts that you want to take advantage of, I can help in that arena.
As for Cincy sightseeing you bet!!! I'll buy the first round. ;-)

This has been changed to Saturday 11-noon as of yesterday. Schedule
Screwed my airfare up; had to make changes. Now maybe we can do a group tour in Cincy on Sunday noon-ish.

Buddy and I are going to make our reservations here in the coming week. We'll probably fly in on Wednesday evening. Thursday there are talks on Swiss watches and military watches (keynote), should be good. Dan had mentioned the tour, I would buy the first round and make the fancy Gruen nametags.

All that I can say is things are really up in the air now. COVID-19 has taken 7 of us here in the state. We are the epi-center of serious activity in the US. We now suspect that my wife (schoolteacher) had a mild case of it 3 weeks ago. We might have passed it unknowingly to many others.
The next 2 months are crucial for the National event to take place. We are a pinch away of cancelling our regional event that happens in May.

Gary,
we have a number of cases here in Germany too. It is impossible to stop what's happening because once you have symptoms you have already passed it to others. So the number of cases will increase impossible to be stopped. The only chance is to slow down the number of cases so that the peak is not too high for national health systems to collapse. The slower the slope, the longer the wave, the lower the peak.
Here in Germany almost all fairs are postponed or cancelled, I am glad that I am working from home office. Next fair I would have to visit would be in May, which I expect might be the peak time for COVID-19 here in Germany. I expect the fair to be cancelled as well...
But I am sure that I will get it just like all others one day.
Barney

Jack,
Wife is recovered. Who knows but I'm still keeping National on the radar..., however National is in CYA mode if you ask me. Pipe dreaming!

Subject: Re: Regional and National
The NAWCC recognizes that communication to members regarding our events is important and this will be a regular topic at staff meetings. The risks posed by the Coronavirus and most up-to-date information is available through the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (WWW.CDC.GOV) which we encourage members to monitor.
As of this writing, March 2nd, we are glad to report that CDC is communicating a low risk stating "The general American public is unlikely to be exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19 at this time, so the immediate health risk from COVID-19 is considered low."
We therefore have no current plans on cancelling any of our events, including Regionals or the National Convention at this time.

Was that to the general membership? I did not get it.
That was internal when our chair notified National that there is a chance we might cancel our event for May.

After much deliberation the Gruen Chairs made the decision to cancel our regional in May. Arizona also cancelled their regional just 3 days ago. Who knows what in store for National...
You all stay safe and healthy!
