Decision to not collect annual fee

The Association committee in a meeting held yesterday, decided to not collect annual fees this year. Members might be aware that association committee members usually make the rounds during Jan to March each year. This year however, not only have businesses suffered, people too have lost jobs or have had their income reduced. Also the current pandemic situation makes the task of collection risky. Hence the decision.
