Reeb Picnic to Kick off Summer!! – We are excited to start gathering in person again. Reebers and Friends are invited to an outdoor picnic on Sunday, June 13th starting at 12:30 pm at Demetral Field, behind the JRUUC Building. To keep everyone safe we ask that you bring your own food, utensils, and blanket/folding chairs. We look forward to a fun lunch together where we can see and talk to each other in person instead of zoom! We ask that everyone arrive wearing masks and keep them on when not eating/drinking, and practice social distancing. As part of keeping everyone safe we need everyone to pre-register. Here is the pre-registration form. Please complete the form by June 12. If you have questions feel free to contact Sarah Elmore.

The Reeb Membership Team has more summer events planned in addition to the picnic. Make sure to save the following dates. Specific details will be posted closer to each event.

Hike at Governor Nelson July 11, 1 pm
Bike the Arboretum Loop, optional visit to the zoo in August 8, 1 pm
Campout at Lake Farm County Park Sept. 18th-19th, starts at 3 pm

Reeb and Covid-19 Covid infections in Dane County continue to fall, though still higher than in mid-March. While the JRUUC building remains closed, warmer days create possibilities for outdoor gatherings using the Level 4 guidelines in our COVID-19 Strategic Plan
