The Covid vaccines are slowly rolling out. We would like to let folks know how we will handle getting back into the building once the time comes and also information concerning the powwow.
We are really hoping, as President Biden states, that most of the US people will be vaccinated by the end of May.
Right now, we are not planning on having our annual Unity Days Powwow which is normally held on Armed Forces weekend – May 15th & 16th This is also the Chief Roland Jerome Memorial Powwow.
With luck, by mid October, when we normally have our Fall Feast – October 16th & 17th, we may be able to hold our powwow then. Again, it will depend on how the vaccinations are going. A decision will have to be made by early to mid-July to get vendor contracts out and get things in place. We will keep you posted on this.
We cannot say that only people who are vaccinated can attend indoor meetings, that would not be fair.
So, our weekly meetings………our thoughts right now are that we should plan on doing outdoor meet-ups until more people are vaccinated. This would be social distancing and mask wearing. It will be like the meetups last summer/fall
It would not be forever but just for the time being.
Once a decision is made to re-enter the building we will need to come up with a list of rules pertaining to gatherings – both weekly meetings and gatherings – this is something that we are really going to have to discuss and seek out what the State regulates.
We are working hard to keep everyone safe.
Once the weather becomes nice enough to gather outside, we will let people know. As last summer/fall, the building will be open for using the facilities.
