Our monthly outings are usually the First Saturday, Second Thursday (Gig Harbor) and Third Wednesday. Also listed are any "ad hoc" outings planned (outside of the usual schedule).
Be mindful of the COVID risk. Rates are down now though it's still with us. Colds and flu are rising.
Please stay home if you're feeling ill, regardless of a negative COVID test. It could be a cold, flu, or RSV to which older people are also vulnerable. Our group has many Seniors. Even if it's "just a cold", we'd rather not catch it! Thanks for taking care of each other.
