ALABAMA EMMAUS COMMUNITY BOARD DECISIONS
WALKS RESUMING
At its May 1 meeting, the Alabama Emmaus Community Board of Directors opted to resume Walks with #494 August 12 – 15. Every effort is being made to have a safe environment for all participants, including consideration of Upper Room, CDC and Camp Sumatanga guidelines.
In taking this step, the decision was also made to ask Pilgrims and Team Members on all four Walks in 2021 to be fully vaccinated. Each will be asked if they have been, if able to be, and/or if plans are in place to be by the date of the respective Walk. Pilgrims who are not, or not able to be, will be scheduled into 2022. Team Members who are not medically able to be vaccinated, if willing to accept the risk, may serve.
This decision will be reviewed June 10 with the option to update according to circumstances at the time.
The Bud Bottcher Memorial Golf Tournament has been postponed from June 5th to a date in the fall. The Cluster Board will consider a specific date at its June meeting with details to follow. With the extra time, be thinking about such things as sponsoring a hole in honor of Walk #496, led by the Holy Spirit and Rosemary Lewey, or your Pilgrim, or a Pilgrim you sponsored some time ago.
Cluster Leader Clay Hammond is communicating with Camp Executive Director Tony Jones to set a date for Shoals Cluster members to help with the work being done to prepare Camp to re-open. He has asked Tony for a date what will work with the Camp calendar and for a list of the jobs that most need to be done. Clay hopes to be able to share this information at the meeting May 18 so each one can check their calendar and determine if their skill set fits the jobs list.
