f I may modify a phrase from Shakespeare we are
all living through a spring of our utter discontent.
The Cono-19 virus stalks the country overshadow-
ing what should be a season of hope and life with
indiscriminate death and despair. As part of the epi-
center the East End is firmly in the eye of this storm.

how to offer you a summer’s worth of enjoyment and
reprieve under these challenging circumstances. We
are a resourceful lot and will find ways to do that. For
now there are things to bear in mind.
MEMORIAL DAY
Let’s start with the traditional opening event of the
season. Memorial Day weekend has always been a
pivotal point on the East End calendar. An All-Amer-
