Message from Mozam:

"...we have been Florenced!... we have canceled our event.

After the hurricane passes, the Airport Day Committee will check other local conflicting events, hotel availability, etc., and make a determination on possibly slipping OCD 2018 to mid Oct, which is the earliest possible date for a reschedule..."
