    Chairs are available in the meeting hall.  However, if you prefer to use your own chair, blanket, cushion or bench, you are welcome to bring it.  The meetings have recently moved indoors and meet in the Parish Hall at the rear of the church.
    Those who regularly attend the in-person meetings have developed a masking policy for the time we are meeting indoors.  The community levels of covid will be checked each time we publish the newsletter.  When community levels are low; masks will be optional.  When community levels are medium or high, masks will be required.
    Currently, the covid community levels are low in Benton County so masks are optional.
    However,please bring a mask to all in-person meditation sessions in case there is an attending member with greater vulnerability.  If there is an attending member that feels more comfortable with everyone masking, we will all mask in support of the most vulnerable among us.
