9:00 – 11:30  Aaron will DJ all request dancing.

Masks are now optional, you no longer have to wear an N95, KN95, or KF94.  If you wish, you can wear a cloth mask (We can recommend colorful ones with several layers and a filter made by Vida if you’re interested) or a surgical mask

The committee also decided on two additional things:
 
1.  If you have any symptoms at all, even just a cold, the committee requests that you not come dancing that night.  It will help keep us all as healthy as possible.
 
2.  We continue to require that you be vaccinated with at least one booster.
 
If you wish to wear a mask, we still strongly recommend a top quality N95, KN95, or KF94 mask.  These masks filter out as much as 95% of particles.  We sell great KF94 adjustable masks at the door for $1 a piece.
