Happy Thanksgiving! We wish all our members and their families a happy and safe holiday! We are all excited to gather again with friends and family, not only at Thanksgiving, but at our local chapter events as well!

For our upcoming in-person events we have adopted a social distancing communication system that we hope will give everyone some peace of mind and guide interactions of our members. Each attendee will choose a color sticker to place on their nametag to convey their comfort level. Simply put, a red sticker indicates separation and no touching, a yellow sticker indicates cautious interaction, and a green sticker indicates comfort with handshakes and closer social networking. Please see the image below for clarification.

We hope this system will bring each attendee confidence in attending and help them enjoy our live events!
