• This safety note is from Mike (AKA Sparky): Never hire, or work with, an electrician that is missing their eye brows.

• With the Delta variant of Covid 19 causing increased infections, lets revisit the updated Covid safety protocol the membership passed effective 6/1/2021:

1) For vaccinated members, masks become optional

- “Vaccinated” means 14 days after having had your second shot of Pfizer/Moderna (or first of J&J)

- You must still carry a mask in case wearing it is requested by another member

2) Non-vaccinated members must wear masks at all times and observe all social distancing guidelines.

3) If you enter a work area (e.g. the woodshop) that is already occupied, you must ask others if it is ok to work without a mask. As part of being excellent to each other, please ask permission rather than presuming others are comfortable working around unmasked individuals. Not all members are comfortable asking others to put on a mask.

4) Trainers/people putting on classes will determine the protocol they are most comfortable with (e.g. the class size, whether or not you must be vaccinated, whether or not attendees must wear masks, etc.). Remember, the trainers are volunteers. Classes, member-led group meetings, and community events such as Bay View Gallery Night are allowed to resume.

5) Public meetings return to in-person. Inside events, such as member meetings, along with other schedules events (such as space improvement days) are mask-only events. The mask requirement policy will be addressed in the future when necessary (likely at each monthly board meeting).
