Fwd: Covid statement

[Charlie Smith]

Hey folks,  Thought I would share this with you since it will be a while before you read it in Airmail.   Since most (if not all) club activities are being cancelled, folks are gonna have to come up with their own. Now would be a good time to get out and scout around in your area for potential sites to have an over night get together. A simple but possibly fun activity for members in your area. Sponsor a day ride. A good way to meet with other members in your area. Design a face mask that one can drink a beverage with. I have tried cutting a small hole for a straw (compromises the face mask) and a hydration back pack (yucky tasting beer that went flat quickly). Hard to beat a bottle or can that goes directly to the lips!!  If you come up with some activity that you would like others to join in, you may use this list to contact all members in VA, so long as they have kept their email addresses current with the ABC Membership Team.Ride safe and be safe, Charlie #13--- Forwarded Message -----

BOD COVID STATEMENT

To the members and affiliates of the Airheads Beemer Club from the Board of Directors.  

We have all heard this many times by now - We are dialing with difficult and unprecedented circumstances from the COVID 19 Global Pandemic.  From our families to our local communities and at a global level.  

It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to do our part in this crisis, and that has resulted in cancelation of nearly all club activities especially those involving that in-person camaraderie that we are all so fond of.  

While we all hope and plan to see things return to some sort of normalcy, and to avoid cancelation of even more events in the future, the club leadership feels that we should as a club come together on some basic guidelines.  We are not health experts, and do not intend to establish rules policies or engage in the political discourse surrounding this crisis.

Many of us are anxious to hold tech days, and annual gatherings this season when health experts are asking everyone to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people. In some areas, state and local governments are banning such gatherings for anything other than essential activities. Members are faced with the dilemma of the loss of these wonderful gatherings, or complying with governmental restrictions and also protecting the health of their members. 

If a state or local governmental order prohibits having an in-person meeting, the decision on whether to have the event is easy: You should not hold the event. The BOD reccomends that you follow the governmental orders.

If there are no explicit restrictions, the club leadership hopes and expects that all members organizing and hosting events will follow all local guidelines for the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), gathering sizes and social distancing.  The club does not officially sponsor or support any gatherings that do not fully comply with state and local guidelines.  

Please be safe, protect your friends, family and fellow members and stay healthy for a bright future and prosperous club going forward.Garry Newby

Chairman BOD
