Last spring, summer, and fall we did have a number of positive outdoor events--that was one way to respond to the pandemic limitations without putting ourselves or others at risk. This year, though we believe the pandemic threat will be less due to the vaccinations, we're still planning safe events that will be mainly outdoors. Having these events to prepare for gives us lots to look forward too, plus the somewhat loose paramters for outdoor events allows people to come if they want and not come if they don't want. Essentially we're planning a number of meet-ups for hiking, spending the day at the beach, outdoor picnics and more. There's lots of great spaces to explore in our area and this will bring the months ahead some joy. Onward.
