getting error "Cannot connect to MySQL database"

Hello! In the last hour, about 4-415pm ET, I was able to login to our website: presidentsclub.toastmastersclubs.org/
Then a few minutes later I got this error - see below for text & attached for image
Alerting you in case this is a bigger cause for concern than just me. 
Thank you for all that you do!

Regards,
Sandy Pon

Thanks for your report. This seems to be fairly widespread. Hopefully it should be fixed soon.
