COVID-19 Concerns We are excited to see everyone in person again, but are encouraging the following precautions to keep everyone safe: We have many attendees who may face higher risks than average if they get sick with COVID. We are all responsible for protecting each other, so that we can continue to enjoy meeting in person. If you have elected not to get a COVID vaccine, please consider the following options: a) Consider not attending the event. It is difficult to keep germs from transferring to others in an enclosed space, and you may be putting other people at risk if you are not protected against COVID with a vaccine. b) If you plan to attend the live event without being vaccinated, please wear a mask. We encourage all attendees to wear masks as you feel comfortable, although we are not requiring masks. If you have not received a COVID vaccine, please wear a mask. Since this is primarily an eating and drinking event, it is likely that most attendees will elect to be unmasked most of the time. Because of this, if you have elected not to get vaccinated, you will likely have a hard time staying fully masked and enjoy this event. We strongly recommend that unvaccinated attendees consider skipping this event to protect other people in attendance....
