Whether you know the sender or not, do not click links or open attachments you were not expecting. Good afternoon, Thank you so much for sending over the fully executed agreement and the reimbursement packet. I appreciate you taking the time to include all of the relevant materials and guidance. After reviewing everything and finalizing personal scheduling, I've realized that unfortunately we will not be able to move forward with this event this year. I recently learned that an immediate family member's wedding is taking place that same weekend, which will prevent me from being able to host the event as planned. With that in mind, we will plan to reapply next year and hope to move forward at that time instead. I truly appreciate the opportunity and support from the County and the TDC, and I'm grateful for your understanding. Please let me know if there are any formal steps required on our end to close this out properly. Thank you again, and I look forward to staying in touch.
