Join us for our in-person monthly meeting at Green Acres Community Center on Saturday, September 4, 2021. This is our first in-person meeting at Green Acres since March 2020. It's hard to believe it's been so long.
Set-up will begin at 12:30 pm per usual, and the meeting will start at 1:00 pm. We will have an expanded lightning talk by Jacob Waters entitled "Shrimp Keeping: Down the rabbit hole." Anticipating that there will be a larger than normal demand for the mini-auction and to ease the club back into normal operations, we will not have a regular feature presentation with a guest speaker. All the normal mini-auction rules will apply with the exception that we will impose a limit of 200 items total. Sellers, please be considerate of others as you list your items in My Group Auctions so that everyone can have the opportunity to sell. We will not be offering hospitality (food or drinks) at the September meeting to minimize congregating.
MyGroupAuctions: The September mini-auction is set up in MGA. Sellers may go in and enter their items.
Health Measures: Due to surging COVID-19 cases in northern VA, as of August 9 Fairfax County is requiring the wearing of face masks in all county facilities regardless of vaccination status. A novel characteristic of the Delta variant is that viral loads in the nose are very high. It is mandatory that all face masks be worn over both the nose and mouth. I will bring a box of individually wrapped, high quality KF94 masks. Anyone who needs a mask with a tight seal can buy one from me for $1.
We will be spacing chairs 6 feet apart. People are encouraged to exercise judgment in approaching the table holding auction items. We'll ask that people go up, look, and then move away. Please don't congregate next to the table if you're not actively looking.
Can't wait to see everyone on Saturday.
I had so much fun giving the talk. Also I just put some really nice shrimp up on mygroupauctions for the all day auction in October.
