*We will have masks and hand sanitizer available and have been assured that the room is well ventilated. Tables and chairs will be strategically placed. Please bring warm clothing depending on the weather as we expect to mingle outdoors as much as possible.

 

*We look forward to seeing you but also understand each one of us will need to weigh the risks of attendance and decide accordingly.
