Message to All

I hope everyone is well and planning for their winter in
Destin/Miramar Beach. The Walton County
Snowbird Board did meet this past week and made several decisions. While there are many details to be worked out,
I’ll summarize the highlights. We will
offer both in-person and streaming options for General Meetings and both in-person
and online options for Registration. We will follow CDC guidelines as far as
social distancing when inside (and outside, if crowded). In order to get a name badge, members must
provide proof of vaccination. The name
badge must be presented to enter any Snowbird gathering. We will also require
that masks be worn inside. We will
provide hand sanitizers and other sanitation supplies to ensure as safe an
environment as possible. We will work
with the individual activity leaders to ensure the safest environment their
activity allows. We want our activities
to be conducted but member safety is of the utmost importance.
Other news is that we will be meeting at the Destin United
Methodist Church once again. I am
excited about this as it really does fit our needs. However, their pre-school uses the gymnasium
area on Wednesdays so we will hold our general meetings on Thursdays.
There are changes at the Santa Rosa Community Church as
well. They have a daycare/pre-school and
there is now a state statute that outsiders are not allowed in the building
while the school is in session. As a
result, they’ve asked that we not enter the building until 3:00 pm. Co-1st Vice-Presidents Jan &
Len Hoover are working with the impacted activity leaders to relocate to a more
convenient time or another location.
As you can see, there are many details to be worked out
between now and December 1. We will
provide updates on the website as they occur, and I will continue to update you
via e-mail after each meeting.
We look forward to seeing you in December or January. In the
meantime, stay safe and healthy.
Donna Reed
