Be mindful of the COVID risk. Rates are low now though it's still with us. Flu is high right now.
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.

Sat & Sun, July 19 & 20: Sketcherfest, Edmonds
As Tina wrote to USk Seattle: "
Several [sketch outings] are
part of or leading up to the much-anticipated Sketcher Fest in beautiful
Edmonds! Sketchwalks during Sketcher Fest are free and open to all.
Tickets are still available for the Sketchbook Fair, where you can meet the guest artists, see their original sketchbooks, and shop at the vendor market."
See USk Seattle for outings in Seattle area with the Sketcherfest visiting artists.
Given all this activity during that week, there will not be the usual 3rd Wednesday USk Tacoma outing.
