Covid Alert Signs needed at all Rallies

ATTENTION all Dogwood Chapter Members

 

The FMCA Board of Directors voted to require Covid Alert signs, in lieu of requiring signed Covid waivers, at all FMCA functions.  Please note that all attendees are assuming their own risk (for Covid) by attending any FMCA event.  The use of safety masks is optional.

 

Rally Hosts:  Covid Alert signs need to be posted, at Dogwood rallies, where all attendees can see them.  A Covid Alert sign template has been posted on the Dogwood blog for you to access and print if you would like to use it.

 

Access the template here or find it in the Reference Documents Section.

 

Respectfully,

Jean Herbert, Dogwood Secretary

President Message, October 9, 2020 Covid 19 Rally Form, Update

 Hello Dogwood Family,

 

Hope all is well and that you are all safe and healthy. The information that follows is very important, so please read carefully and comply if you plan on attending a FMCA Chapter Rally.

 

During the Virtual EAMA Annual Board meeting on Oct. 3, 2020, we were made aware of a FMCA Chapter Waiver and Release of Liability for Exposure to Covid-19 Form. If you plan to attend a chapter rally, you must agree to comply with the requirements in the form and provide a release of liability by signing the form.

 

The form is attached to this email for your review and use 

 

In order to ensure we comply with the requirements, you can do one of two things if you are planning to attend a Dogwood Rally.

 

1. Print off a copy for each individual involved, complete and sign the form, and bring it to the rally.

 

2. Complete and sign the form at the rally. We will ensure that there are sufficient copies for all attendees.

 

And just to clarify again, you must complete this form in order to participate in a rally. Your cooperation in this process will be greatly appreciated. We will get through this.  

 

We hope to see you at our upcoming rallies. Take care and be SAFE.

 

Regards and thank you,

 

Jim Buelow

Dogwood President
