Notes for Saturday "Fall Art for Fairness"

Hi everyone!

Just a couple notes:

#1)  Please wear your uniform!

#2)  If anyone can arrive a hair early (11:45-ish) that would be great.  Everything should be set up by then, but that way we can go through all our procedures to make sure we're keeping it safe and fun for everyone.  (If you're REALLY ambitious, Evie and I'll be getting there around 10:00 to start setting up, and we could use help then too.)

#3)  Speaking of setting up, I've worked with the Hay Daze organizer to get enough space to make sure we're doing this as COVID safely as possible.  Here's the plan:

• We'll have 4 10x10 canopies arranged in a square and roped off with only one entrance point into the square.
• Participants will have to be masked and hand sanitized before coming in, and will be limited to 6-8 participants in the square at a time (we'll decide if we stick with six or expand to 8 based on how the space looks that day.)
• Participants will check in at the entrance, and will pick what project they want to do.  Quinn (Thanks!!) has made a sign with a list and another with suggestions, and we'll have the examples the girls made at camp there to show off too.
• Participants will be given the supplies for their particular project and will spread out to a specific table.
• When they're done, they'll give their supplies to a girl scout for sanitizing and another participant can come in.

We should be able to keep people spread out, masked up, and keep surfaces and equipment clean this way.  We'll be outside which helps too. If anyone gets belligerent, Kathleen and I will be there the whole time to shut them down.  If they don't want to wear a mask, they don't have to do our free project!  :)

Thanks to all the girls for a GREAT idea and a great opportunity to help spread a message of fairness, tolerance, respect, justice, and equality.
