I& #39;m going to address a concern that& #39;s been brought to our attention. A total of nearly 1300$ was raised in 2019/2020 for the in-person CC2020 event that was cancelled due to COVID-19. The total cost of the rental is nearly 2,000 and we planned to pay for the rest out of our-

-own pocket, had the event taken place this past summer. We still hold a contract with the Ohio Expo Center and you can still see the cancelled official event here: https://ohioexpocenter.com/event/clique-con-2020/.">https://ohioexpocenter.com/event/cli... We have planned for an in-person event next summer and we have already discussed this-

- with the venue. We offered refunds for those that wanted them, but the in-person event is still going to take place next summer, permitting that the virus recedes. Again, we are paying for a majority of the costs alone, and if you want a refund, we are more than happy to-

- return your money. If there are any more questions about the legitimacy of the event or what& #39;s going to happen, please reach out to us directly as it is disheartening to hear the skepticism without thorough conversation and research. Thank you.
