Dear Ones,

At a very emotional MOSES Board meeting last evening (6-18-20), we made the extremely difficult decision to dissolve the MOSES non-profit and suspend all trips and activities, effective this fall.

One of the primary reasons for this decision is that several board members are getting too old or physically challenged to lead our trips and we have not been able to find younger adults willing to step up. We had plenty of teens and adults committed to participate on our 2020 trips, but the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions and travel bans forced us to cancel all 2020 trips. We don’t know if or when the social distancing restrictions may be lifted or the borders open. Meanwhile, our insurance bills must be paid each month and our vehicles continue to depreciate while standing unused.

It is our hope and intent to hold one last celebration of the 30-plus years of MOSES, probably sometime this fall. Details are yet to be established, but you will be notified.

We want to thank every one of you who has participated in our trips, contributed so that others could participate or for the purchase of supplies, vehicles, etc. You have all blessed us immeasurably!

Judy, on behalf of the MOSES Board
