SUMMARY:Masks Required Private Event at Olympia Hands On Children's Museum
DESCRIPTION:This event will be from 6-8 PM on Sunday\, August 3rd at the Olympia Hands On Children’s Museum. We will have exclusive use of the museum as well as their outdoor space. The outdoor space is substantial and includes enough activities to keep many kids busy for the whole 2 hours. Masks will be required for all attendees OVER 2 years of age\, including in the outdoor space. Masks must be KF94/KN95 or better. Given that this is a museum made for children as young as toddlers\, we will welcome unmasked children aged 2 and under indoors to enjoy the museum. \nWe are asking all present museum staff to mask while we are there using respirator style masks. I have been told by the coordinator that 2-3 staff will be present for the event\, that typically staff are happy to mask\,  but staff are NOT able to be required to comply. The three staff at our June event masked in KN95 masks without a problem. I have inquired about the cleaning procedures prior to the event and I have been told that only the typical\, throughout the day\, surface cleaning and bathroom cleaning procedures will have been done prior to the event. Deep cleaning happens after everyone leaves (after our event would be done)\, as the chemicals involved are not child safe when freshly applied.\n\nThe museum has a high quality HVAC system that should keep the museum quite well ventilated during the event. During our June event\, Aranet readings maxed in the low 800s upstairs. We had 81 attendees at that event and people were well spread out. The museum is ADA accessible and parking will be free in the museum parking lot during the event. Street parking near the museum will also be free on weekends. If you would be attending only to enjoy the outdoor space\, please note that you will need to enter the museum\, sign in\, and then walk through to the outdoor space. Feel free to visit hocm.org to view the museum and get a sense of the space and the activities available.\n\nAdults are welcome to come to this event without children. If you do not have children and want to come socialize with other masking adults\, feel free to attend.\n\nTickets are $10 per person. Each person attending the event must have a ticket\, regardless of age. The event will be capped at 150 attendees and the cost for the event is $625 for 100-150 people. Funds from the $10 tickets will be used to subsidize the no-cost tickets for attendees where cost is a barrier to attendance. Any additional funds I may receive above the cost of the event will be donated to the Olympia MaskBloc and Clean Air Oly. If cost is a barrier\, please do not hesitate to purchase a no-cost ticket.\n\nAgain the details for the event are:\n\n-Tickets are $10 per person and there are no cost tickets available for people where cost is a barrier\n-KF94/KN95 masks or better are required for attendees OVER 2 years of age\, including in the outdoor space\n-Children aged 2 years or under are welcome to attend\, even though they are not able to mask or may not yet be able to mask\n-We will ask staff members to mask\, and they probably will\, but they cannot be compelled to comply\n-We will have use of the extensive outdoor space belonging to the museum\n\nTickets are non-refundable.
