Dear Neohiopal Subscribers,

I am so so sorry that almost all of the performing arts activity in the region has gone silent due to COVID-19. I am sure we can all agree that this is very necessary to keep everyone safe and to hopefully hold down the spread of the virus. I look forward to the day when this is all behind us and activities return to normal. I hope that your organizations will be able to weather the inevitable financial difficulties that will arise.

You have probably noticed that there have been a lot less postings to Neohiopal. 

If you subscribe to the digest version, you've seen that the last digest had only one posting in it. Until the last couple of days, a digest went out every time the bandwidth of the total postings reached 150,000 bytes. I also am able to trigger a digest any time - and I have done so in the past for donation requests, and I will do again with this posting so you see this right away. 

In order to keep the postings timely, I changed the setting recently so that a digest would go out once a day around 4:30pm with whatever postings had been sent out in the previous 24 hours. If and when the threshold reaches 150,000 in less than 24 hours, that will also trigger a posting. 

Let me know if you have any ideas for how Neohiopal can be of additional service in this difficult time.

Stay safe. 

Love, and Warm Regards,
