It is with a sense of responsibility for doing the right thing for our nurses, vendors and community that we, the Metrolina Council of Nursing Organizations (MCONO), need to cancel the Annual Celebrate Nursing Banquet that was scheduled for May 7, 2020.  With the "Stay At Home" order for Mecklenburg county, and believing this is the best action for our participants, the MCONO Board chose to cancel the celebration this year.  We look forward to your participation next year on May 6, 2021.  Terry Foster, our Nurse Humorist, has agreed to be our speaker in 2021 as well.  So, we look forward to seeing all of you  May 6, 2021 - healthy, safe and ready to celebrate the nursing profession and the nurses in our region.  Thank you for understanding this difficult and very disappointing decision.  Refunds will be issued through Eventbrite in the next two weeks.  If you have any questions, please contact Tereasa Owens at info@metrolinanursing.com or Sherry Lee at exhibitor@metrolinanursing.com.
