MSU Extension In-Person Event Pre-event Language for Participants

June 15, 2021 -

Prior to in-person MSU Extension events, event coordinators/MSU Extension volunteers should send the following language to all participants, parents (if applicable) and volunteers regarding in-person experience requirements. 

FOR INDOOR EVENTS: 

Dear Participant, 

We are excited that we have been approved to offer NAME OF EVENT as a face-to-face experience. We will meet at EVENT LOCATION on DATE AND TIME OF EVENT. 

Per MSU Extension guidelines for in-person indoor events, everyone will be required to wear a mask that covers their nose and mouth unless they are fully vaccinated, medically unable or under the age of 2 (fully vaccinated means at least two weeks have passed since receiving the final dose of an FDA-approved or FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine). Individuals may also choose to wear a mask, regardless of their vaccination status; please respect individual choices regarding masks and vaccines.

By registering for/attending this event, you have agreed to properly wear a mask throughout the duration of the event (if applicable), practice social distancing and monitor yourself for flu-like symptoms – staying home if you either do not feel well, or test positive for COVID-19 or have had close contact with someone who is sick or has tested positive for COVID-19.

Only participants, their parent/guardian (if applicable), and volunteers will be allowed to attend the event. As much as we enjoy bringing friends and guests, at this time we are limited to volunteers, participants and the individuals transporting them. Everyone will be required to sign in and out from the event, please bring a writing utensil with you. We will also ask you to practice physical distancing from individuals not in your immediate household. 

Thank you in advance for following these requirements and we look forward to seeing those who are able, at our in-person event. For those unable to attend face-to-face or follow these requirements, an alternative option may be available. Please contact me at least one week in advance to discuss this option or to request an accommodation for those medically unable to wear a face mask.
