Two portions of this event will be held indoors, where all attendees are seated at a table together.
If you feel more comfortable wearing a face covering, this may not be a suitable gathering to attend.
Rod experiences some hearing impairment due to chemotherapy damage, and the face covering can create challenges in clear communication.
