2020 Iris Events - Cancellations and Status Announcements

The rapidly developing Coronavirus / Covid-19 situation has led to a number of cancellations of 2020 iris events. Other iris events have changes, including possible cancellations, being considered. This is a place to collect such changes / potential changes for irisarians as notices are available. Please add additions and changes below as you become aware of them. Links to the announcements are appreciated. If you are uncomfortable editing this page, please send your notices and links to Wayne Messer, editor of the AIS electronic newsletter News & Notes, at wrmesser@gmail.com .
