Coming UP…

Covid is on the RISE!!! As of now there have not been any new restrictions imposed, but let’s be prepared; they may be coming soon!

Because Covid hasn’t gone away, we need to keep doing the following:

  • Do not share equipment
  • Stay home if feeling sick or have COVID like symptoms
