Comrades,
Extract of Executive Committee meeting: The Executive Committee and I feel a sincere need, while also having a duty, to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all members. The Executive Committee has decided that moving forward our policy with regards to COVID is “no vaccination, no entry.” This will be the policy for all members and a guiding policy for scheduling future events in the hall.
Discussion: COVID has and continues to impact us individually and it’s no surprise that it colors the way we approach operating the Post and Lounge. In the past few weeks, it’s come to my attention that we, Legionnaires, Sons and Auxiliary, have had several cases of COVID in our ranks. Some have been with unvaccinated members and some have been “breakthrough” cases. Most have gone unreported to us even though these folks have been regulars at the Post and Lounge. Additionally, we still have members that are unvaccinated and are not practicing minimal safety precautions.
The actual policy and implementing instructions will be available this week. Once they are complete I will post them on the webpage and send them to everyone.

Commander, Post 512
