Hi all, 

Now that the government is no longer giving free COVID tests, I'm scrambling to get enough for the Convention.  As in recent gatherings, we'll ask each attendee to do a COVID test (preferably at home before they come), and only attend if their test is negative. 

We'll need to have COVID tests on-hand for people who didn't test at home.  I can buy them online for $5 each, but I'm wondering if anyone has a better/cheaper source for them, or somehow has non-expired tests that they could donate.  

Please let me know if you do - and reply just to me, not reply-all.

Thanks!

Nell

Hi All,
FYI, the new covid booster is now available at local pharmacies, as of this week.
I had an appointment on Wednesday to get one at the CVS in the pearl, but they told me they don't do vaccines for Providence insurance holders.
Yesterday I went to Le Care in Hollywood and they had just gotten them in and weren't yet prepared to give them out.
So I got a flu shot, and my second shingles vaccine.
Today I have an appointment at Walgreens to get the covid booster and a pneumonia vaccine.
Last year I needed a prescription to get the booster, but they assured me that this year it's not necessary.

Stay safe everyone, and do what you can to keep others safe too.
Larisa
