We continue to urge our members to be prudent until
there is a slow down to Covid19 infections. Please take this virus seriously; too many of our tribe members

Please, stay indoors at home and, if you have to go out, be sure to
--wear your mask, covering
both mouth & nose
(even when socially
distancing)
--wash your hands often,
--stay socially distant (6 to 12 ft),
