Fellow WW&F Friends and Family;
After careful consideration of the continuing COVID-19 crisis, the Delta variant and the potential harm to our treasured volunteers, the Board of Directors voted unanimously to once again replace the Fall Work Weekend. As we did this past Spring, a series of individual, themed work days will be scheduled throughout autumn. The first work day will be October 9, followed by October 30, November 13 and 20. Each day will have a specific task that will be addressed such as spiking rail at Trout Brook or at Sheepscot. Please keep your eyes on this space for more details.
If you are planning to attend one of these work days and travelling “from away”, the Board is requiring that you be fully vaccinated or have had a negative Covid test within 48 hours of your arrival. Be prepared to show proof if asked by a Board member or other authorized person. Please also note that the Museum will be adhering to state and federal mask, capacity and distancing mandates. Note also that sleeping accommodations will not be available in the Percival House. Meals will probably also not be provided so you should plan accordingly.
We are disappointed that these changes are again necessary but remain optimistic that if we all act responsibly, we will get through this and again gather together for work weekends.
Respectfully,
Dave
