• organize working groups to limit the exposure of Q.U. exposure to each other. - Matt

• Different Committee members take the lead of different work parties. - Jim
• Post specifically what is planned for a particular work party and people sign up for those tasks - Jim
• Day trips for the work party, maybe even go home and come back the following day - Jim

Additional Ideas

• only kitchen workers on the 1st floor
• masks worn indoors at all times
• limit number of people in the bathrooms (1-only means no door touching, less sterilizing)
• dorms accessible only via exterior doors, only for persons occupying them
• zoo, dorms, & tow hut accessible in inclement weather
• work party signups have $10 charge to cover food (ages 12+, so work parties don't cost the club)
• maintain comprehensive roster for contact tracing

CDC guidelines for reopening

• frequent handwashing
• as much outdoor air as possible
• cloth masks when indoors or within 6' of others
• 6' distance
• head-to-toe bed positioning
