On March 27, if the local data remains stable, BUF will join the “masks optional” arena. In the meantime, please continue to wear your mask to BUF services and events.
As you go about your lives in the Masks-Optional world outside of BUF, at the grocery store, the gym, restaurants, etc., please keep in mind the following:
- Take into consideration your family and loved ones at home who may be more at risk due to immuno-compromised risks, age, or inability to be vaccinated, and use a mask accordingly;
- Keep in mind those around you at BUF who may be in the above category and use a mask accordingly, holding everyone is a safe space;
- Remember, there are many in the larger Bellingham community who are not vaccinated and may also not be wearing masks. You must be proactive about taking care and being mindful of your own risks;
- If you are feeling unwell, have cough, sniffles, Please Stay Home.
The COVID Task Force consists of Rev. Paul Beckel, Murray Bennett, Henry Ohana, Patricia Conover, Deb Cruz, Kathy Wahto, and Ken Gass.
