As events are opening up, we’re listing a combination of virtual and live events. The rules are the same – if you want your event included, please make a Facebook event, invite me (Alan Sims – you’ll have to friend me) and it will be included. I need enough lead time that the list can be put together the Wednesday before you want it listed. And please be safe if you are attending live events.
NOTE: Please follow Health Department recommendations as you decide whether to participate in events: Do Not Go Out If You Have Symptoms of COVID-19. Wash Your Hands Frequently, Avoid Touching Your Face. Avoid Touching Surfaces Which May Not Have Been Cleaned Thoroughly. Maintain a Social Distance of Six Feet or More From Others. Wear a Face Mask If Distancing Is Not Possible.
