Eileen’s notes:
As people return to swing dancing, do not be surprised if you are asked by a potential dance partner about your vaccination status. We are a welcoming community, but the tri-state area was hit hard and we want to be safe. Please be honest.
I have updated for current vaccine / mask requirements, but this is a changing target. If you are concerned, please check FB invites or with the event organizers for further information.
