4. NECC WEATHER-RELATED CANCELLATIONS OR CLOSURES – Northeast Community Center will make schedule adjustments during extreme weather events to minimize exposure to extreme temperatures or unsafe conditions. If conditions become unsafe indoors, NECC will cancel programs and notify all registered participants.
