Coronavirus Update - May Meeting Cancelled

[April 14, 2020] The ban on large gatherings was one of the first efforts to be implemented to control the spread of the coronavirus and it appears that it will likely be one of the last restrictions to be lifted. Even if it were to be lifted by the end of May, which looks unlikely, it would not be responsible for us to bring many thousands of mature and potentially at-risk people together from around the country and region.  After much thought, the Board has decided we have no choice but to cancel the May 30-31, 2020 meeting. 

Members, volunteers, staff and our friends at the Roberts Centre have been working hard on preparations for the May meeting, display show and banquet.  Many of us look forward to the Annual Display Show all year long and this has been a difficult decision.  However, we must put the protection of the health of our members and their families first.   The Display Show and Banquet has been rescheduled for May 8-9, 2021.

Please take this time to cancel any hotel reservations. Tableholders are entitled to their choice of a full refund or credit, and will receive a form in the mail along with a reply envelope for their convenience in selecting a refund or credit. Those who reserved bus tickets have not been charged. Members who bought banquet tickets will be fully refunded.

Gun collectors have been particularly effected by the ban on public gatherings and subsequent cancellation of gun shows across the country. Our March meeting was banned just two days prior. Fortunately, the word got out quickly regarding the cancellation. We sent over 10,000 emails, called over 750 members, and appreciate that so many of you stopped what you were doing and contacted your fellow members. Your email address is never shared! If you did not receive an email from ogca@ogca.com between March 10-13, please email us at ogca@ogca.com with your email address, name and member number (if you don’t know your member number please include your address) so that we can add you to our email list for future correspondence. In addition please “like” us on Facebook to get news and updates at https://www.facebook.com/theogca

We are looking forward to the July 18-19, 2020 meeting! After all this cabin fever it may be the biggest summer show ever. We will be monitoring the situation closely and a link to Ohio's official coronavirus website can be found by clicking here.  

We pray for the stop of the spread of the virus and quick recovery of those afflicted.   May you and your family be healthy and safe.
