August 2020 Rally highlights

What a weekend we had at the Linden’s in August. Not only did we have a good turnout, but we had a number of great guests, good weather, past members and some from the Pen-NY Mixers.

Friday, we had breakfast on our own while the rest arrived. Harold was feeling well enough to bring his coach after platelets treatment.

Half of us arrived Thursday. We had BBQ hots and chips for dinner. After, Walt had his usual camp fire.

We talked and after most arrived, we headed for Peppermints for dinner. Using CDC guides, they did well.

Saturday morning, we made pancakes and sausage. Sharon made individual cups of butter and syrup and then we made the rest. We only touched food during prep and it kept folks safe, I hope. Although we are beginners, all went well. We did almost as well for a steak and chicken dinner Saturday night.

It’s a learning process, but we want to do what’s right in the pandemic. Help us to do better and get used to this.

Our guide to handling food during the Pandemic

We may be making meals during a rally. So, we have some guidelines to stay safe during this process.

 ·       Only designated people will be making and serving food. They must wear a mask and gloves while doing it. We will supply gloves.

·       When you approach food tables, please wear a mask.

·       We will be handing out food.

·       We have plates and forks. Otherwise, you use your own utensils.

·       You supply your own drinks.

·       We will have bags of chips to go with hots on Thursday.

·       We will have cups of syrup and margarine to go with pancakes Saturday.

·       Please supply your own chair and table.

Phase 4 guidelines allow groups up to 25. That allows us to be in a group. Generally, if you are really close to someone make sure, he/she is your partner.
