Sierra Friends of Tibet sadly announces

the postponement of the Tibetan

Monks from Gaden Shartse visit to the Grass Valley/Nevada City and San Juan communities. After a long discussion at

our last meeting on Sunday, March 8th it was decided that the unknown risks of

the current virus spreading to many countries and to the United States made

it clear that we should protect the health

of our community, the Tibetan Monks

and all are volunteers from these

unknown risks. Risks are higher when people gather in large groups. It is a

quickly evolving situation and no one

knows what will happen.

Sierra Friends of Tibet thanks the Banner Community Guild, all the business who

was poised to assist us, the Union and KVMR, the home owners who were

going to invite the Monks into their homes, the people who were going to make

lunches and dinners for the Monks, and

the community for their support. We appreciate your understanding and continued belief in our work to raise awareness of Tibet. We know the

Tibetan Monks will return when these unknown risks are resolved.
