In alignment with the end of California's COVID-19 State of Emergency, Ashby Village COVID Policies and Procedures for in-person events and member services have been updated, including the discontinuation of collecting member and volunteer vaccine and booster status.
In-Person, In-Home Services and Rides: Masks are strongly recommended whenever gathering indoors and in vehicles.
If a member or volunteer prefers that both parties wear masks during an in-person, in-home service or ride, the member should please note this preference when requesting the service and the volunteer should confirm their agreement with this request directly with the member when coordinating the service after sign-up.
Similarly, if a member or volunteer prefers that the other is up-to-date on COVID vaccines and boosters, the member should please note this preference when requesting the service. The member and volunteer should confirm this agreement with each other when coordinating the service.
Meetings and Events: Masks are strongly recommended when participating in Ashby Village indoor activities.
