Letter from the OCGS President

By: Patrick Kamann, President, OCGS Board of Directors

Support Your Local Sheriff Geological Society

Society members, over the past couple weeks I have had brief discussions with folks at the Oklahoma Geological Foun- dation and at the Tulsa Geological Society about the COVID pandemic and its im- pact on events. In addition, we have had several discussions on the OCGS Board about COVID and the potential effects on our Fall social and educational events. One item we all struggle with is how to effectively hold social, fundraiser, and educational events while also managing concerns over the pandemic. To help address some concerns about at- tending events, the OCGS is looking at both virtual and outdoor options. For instance, the OCGS Annual Shrimp Boil

offers both indoor and patio space. How - ever, even with some of these measures, I recognize that attending an educational or social event isn’t right for everyone. As you and your family navigate the COV- ID-19 pandemic, I would like to encour- age you to Support Your Local Geologi- cal Society. Please consider volunteering your time and talents to our OCGS, the Oklahoma Geological Foundation, or the Tulsa Geological Society. Even if you prefer to not attend an event, someone making phone calls to members or placing orders can be a great help in making an event successful. Patrick

Patrick Kamann
