From mmcdowell@ag.tamu.edu to Everyone: 01:19 PM Is your local govt. limiting groups working outside to a certain number? Like 10?

From BeckyGullette to Everyone: 01:20 PM So if we are trying to accommodate members from different chapters in our region, we can follow guidelines for the county in which the activity is scheduled as opposed to defaulting to the guidelines of the most restricted county? From craig hensley to Everyone: 01:21 PM Is that all Agrilife events or events at Agrilife locations where an activity will happen? From Sharon Hamilton to Everyone: 01:23 PM Could someone send a generic covid screening document, so each chapter doesn't have to invent its own? From Scott Hudson to Everyone: 01:23 PM Is there a link to the Preparedness Plan & Screening Documents? From Me to Everyone: 01:23 PM @Scott - yes, on our website. From Addison Regennitter to Everyone: 01:27 PM COVID-19 Guidelines Link again: From Larry Root to Everyone: 01:28 PM Big problems with volunteer work in Austin, and Travis County. Many unhappy members. From craig hensley to Everyone: 01:29 PM use ordinances instead of restrictions? From Master Naturalist to Everyone: 01:31 PM Bernie at the beach...awesome From Me to Everyone: 01:31 PM Bernie on a branch. . . . From Carolyn Langlinais to Everyone: 01:32 PM Sanders on the sand! From Debra Jones to Everyone: 01:32 PM Please clarify if there is a limit on number of participants in outdoor meetings. The previous guidelines set it at 30. Are the current guidelines more restrictive? From Ron Diderich to Everyone: 01:34 PM Don't forget social media and newsletter communication opportunities

From Me to Everyone: 01:34 PM @Debra - by the TMN Guidelines, which follow TPWD & AgriLife guidelines, there is not limit on group gatherings outdoors as long as there is a 6' social distancing kept. From Debra Jones to Everyone: 01:34 PM Thank you. From Emily Hansen - Capital Area to Everyone: 01:35 PM Will there be a quarterly DEI meeting? From Me to Everyone: 01:35 PM @Debra- please check with your local county for any capacity limits too! From Debra Jones to Everyone: 01:35 PM Thanks, will do. From Elizabeth.Rudd to Everyone: 01:36 PM Great looking families :)

From Addison Regennitter to Everyone: 01:38 PM Events calendar: Contact page where you can join the Listserv: From Michelle Haggerty to Everyone: 01:39 PM TMN Tuesdays: From Emily Hansen - Capital Area to Everyone: 01:40 PM David Buggs for DEI presentation? From Bob Cunningham to Everyone: 01:41 PM The standard for Stay at Home Order in Aransas County is probably typical. It requires masks in certain circumstances (essentially less than 6 ft distancing) discourages group of 10+ individuals, but only requires special approval of outdoor gatherings of 100 or more. Current orders have been in effect essentially unchanged since late June 2020. From Larry Root to Everyone: 01:41 PM Birdability....I would have to get the speakers name. From bseward0619@ to Everyone: 01:41 PM D&I Tykee James

From Addison Regennitter to Everyone: 01:42 PM You can add my professional paper presentation on TMN to the idea list :) From Sharon Hamilton to Everyone: 01:42 PM The California Prof who spoke about Dark Skies was outstanding. Future TMN Tuesday? From Master Naturalist to Everyone: 01:42 PM Verify please - recorded TMN Tuesday post presentation still counts for AT hours? From Tania Homayoun to Everyone: 01:42 PM @Larry Root Birdability is Virginia Rose From Bob Cunningham to Everyone: 01:43 PM My understanding is most County / City guidelines are done via Orders from County Judge or Mayor, under emergency declaration authority. Not done by Ordinance passed by Commissioners or Council very much, so far as I'm aware. From Michelle Haggerty to Everyone: 01:45 PM Virtual Volunteer Fair: You're getting a sneak peak of the agenda here From Roberto Gaitan to Everyone: 01:48 PM Watching the recorded Virtual Fail will count towards volunteer time, correct? From Bert Stipelcovich - Coastal Prairie to Everyone: 01:49 PM So watching Virtual Volunteer Fair presentations live counts as VSP. But watching recorded presentations does not. From Michelle Haggerty to Everyone: 01:49 PM Virtual Volunteer Fair will be held across two mornings. Eveyrone can pick and choose what they want to log in for From craig hensley to Everyone: 01:49 PM That looks wonderful!!! From Roberto Gaitan to Everyone: 01:50 PM From our TMN website: For Attending the Virtual Volunteer Event :

From Scott Hudson to Everyone: 01:51 PM summer From Larry Root to Everyone: 01:51 PM I would think summer. From Tom Shackelford to Everyone: 01:51 PM august From Sharon Hamilton to Everyone: 01:51 PM A third fair would be helpful as many of our members (myself included) did not attend the first one. From Dan Porter to Everyone: 01:51 PM Fall and summer to attract different members From Debra Jones to Everyone: 01:52 PM Summer. The first one was very helpful and we are embarking on a chapter level project as a result of it.
