Greetings DMS members!
Your Board is working to update our official COVID-19 policy to reflect the changing guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the state of Texas, and other governmental organizations. Below is the proposed policy that will be voted on at our next board meeting.
We are seeking feedback from DMS members. Please review the updated policy and feel free to give feedback or ask questions.
Thanks!
Curt

Enforcement of rules
All members are expected to continue our ethos of “Be Excellent to Each Other”. This includes mask wearing and social distancing. Harassment of members/guests because of their masking choices is in direct violation of our Anti-harassment Policy. If anyone feels that they have been subjected to harassment, please contact a DMS Officer or a Director.
