Please join us Saturday, August 7 from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m. for our annual church picnic at the Eastman shelters #28 and #30. (See this map.) Featured are fellowship (woohoo!!!) and our new minister, Rev. Tiffany Sapp!
We are so excited to see you! The Reopening Task Force proposed and the Board approved the responsible guidelines below. They are based on advice and data from the CDC, the WHO, and local health departments as well as UU Principles and values. The UUA encourages us to be compassionate and plan in such a way as to include the most people safely, and that is what we are seeking to do.
These guidelines are a little different than the guidelines for church because the Eastman Recreation Area is very different from the church campus. Gathering guidelines for the church remain the same.
Picnic Guidelines
Please stay home if anyone in your household is ill.
Each family/pod should bring their own food, drinks, plates, utensils, cups, masks, & lawn chairs. We understand that it is hard to contemplate a church picnic that is not a potluck, but we can focus instead on the joy of fellowship and enjoying the opportunity to have fun together in a way that hasn’t been possible for over a year.
Please sit and eat in pods—6 feet away from other pods. Feel free to unmask in pods.
Please wear masks while socializing up close.
There will be both vaccinated and unvaccinated people (including children) present.
Some people are still vulnerable even with the vaccine.
The new Delta variant is highly contagious, even among vaccinated people.
Color-coded indicators will be supplied that communicate each person’s comfort level regarding space and physical touch.
Hand sanitizer and a few disposable masks will be available.
If you are interested in leading an activity (crafts, games, storytelling, music jam, social justice brainstorming, balloon animals, hike, etc.), please contact membership@HVUUC.org.
If you have any questions or safety concerns, please contact reopeningtaskforce@HVUUC.org.
