This is the time of year when companies, friends, family get together to celebrate the holidays. However, this year, we are asking people NOT to host holiday parties and gatherings. Indoor parties, small or large, are the perfect environment for COVID-19 to spread.
Effective tomorrow, Wednesday, Dec. 16th, Trivia (even contactless) is not permitted.
