SUMMARY:2021 TreLag Stevne
DESCRIPTION:Tre Lag Stevne 2021 will be held in at the Madison Marriott West Hotel in Madison\, Wisconsin from August 11-14\, 2021 (Wednesday-Saturday). Please note that the 2021 Stevne falls one week later than our usual August slot\, due to scheduling conflicts with the hotel. \nThe Tre Lag Stevne Planning Committee for 2021\, with cautious optimism* is hard at work re-confirming\, revising\, and adding to plans that were aborted in progress for the Covid cancelled 2020 Stevne. \nWith cautious optimism\, TreLag is currently planning to hold our annual stevne from 11-14 August\, 2021 at the Madison Marriott West in Middleton\, Wisconsin.   Between now and then\, the planning committee will continue to monitor the pandemic situation\, and will respect both CDC and local recommendations with regard to group gatherings in August.  If  proceeding with the Stevne becomes untenable due to continuing pandemic risk levels we will cancel plans and consider other options.  Each individual member should\, of course\, make their own independent decision on whether to attend the Stevne based on their own health situations and concerns.  If necessary\, hotel rooms can be cancelled without penalty in adherence with Marriott’s standard cancellation policy. \nOur goal is to make the 2021 Stevne the best one ever! \nFor up to date information\, visit TreLag Stevne 2021 \n
