With regret, we have to postpone this weekend’s planned TEA events at
the Bardot and Avalon. We’ve been monitoring the COVID-19 situation
for the last few weeks and had planned to proceed as usual but late
last night we saw a statement from Governor Newsom highly recommending
canceling events of more than 250 people.

This morning we met with our staff and legal team and we made the
difficult decision to postpone the TEAs until further notice for the
safety and well-being of our community. It is the responsible thing to
do for the wider community.

In the last hour, we’ve been in communication with Avalon and they
just confirmed that they will be postponing all March events until
further notice.

We are monitoring the situation very closely and plan on a future TEA
event when it is responsible to do so.

We really empathize with the amount of time, money and resources that
people have put into attending this weekend. We anticipate a large
financial loss on our end due to the situation, but our priority is
honoring our guests’ purchases, time and effort as best we can given
the circumstances.

To our sponsors, we will be contacting you directly to address the situation.

We appreciate this is a very stressful and disappointing time for
everyone, we are doing the best we can and are available via email at
admin@grooby.com for any further questions.
