    • With the recent surge in the delta variant, we are following CDC guidance to strongly recommend wearing masks indoors (for those 4 years and older) regardless of vaccination status as long as the community remains an area of substantial or high community transmission.  In addition, staff and volunteers who work indoors with children (under age 12) in programs and functions at Unity Presbyterian are required to wear masks when children are present.
    • Attendees are encouraged to maintain social distancing,
    • Do not use the water fountains.
    • Bring your hand sanitizer for personal use.
    • Wash your hands.
