COVID-19 UPDATE

THE FOLLOWING IS THE LATEST UPDATE FROM COUNTY DIRECTOR WHITNEY BRIM-DEFOREST CONCERNING COVID 19, MEETINGS AND OFFICE CLOSURES:

Meetings/Events/Gatherings

With the state moving Sutter and Yuba Counties to the purple tier, we are again allowed to have meetings (outdoors only, with 10 or less people).

Project leaders or Co-Coordinators should submit proposals to Whitney and Janine at least 2 weeks prior to the proposed meeting with the date of the activity. Proposal forms can be obtained from Michele, Sutter-Yuba Office Manager. The proposal must include plans for following COVID protocols (masking, social distancing, cleaning/sanitizing). Only MG’s who have taken the Covid training can participate. At each meeting, attendance must be taken and sent to Michele (the form is also available from Michele).

MG’s who did not take the Covid training but would like to participate in these activities should contact Julie Bowen in case another training is held.

The UCCE Master Gardeners of Sutter-Yuba Counties welcome you!
