The Ohio State Parks have been doing some good virtual activities, so I could see incorporating some of that into #3. I also like the idea of socially distanced tours, "Natural Treasures of Marietta," or some such thing. Table-based activities seem too risky
to me.</div>

<span style="color:#1F497D">I h</span>ope all is well! It is always about this time of year we start preliminary meetings for Earth Day.
<span style="color:black">Earth Day is Thursday, April 22<sup>nd,</sup> so </span>
we would usually have it that Saturday, April 24<sup>th</sup>. Biden is trying to get 100 MN people vaccinated in 90 days and that puts us to about that time period (if all goes as planned)…that being said, that only accounts for 1/3 of the US population
and it will still be recommended to wear masks. With that framework in mind, I am touching base to see what we should do or not do this year.</p>

</span>Reimagine the event to more outdoor activities instead of our normal close interactive ones. Ie - a) Have a guided birding walk (Kroger Wetlands? Or elsewhere) ; b) have a guided nature walk (Vocational School) c) take things to the recycling Center
Day? Have events that don’t require everyone to be in the same place at the same time? Get kids and families out and about? D) provide activity packets for kids to take and do at home? We could still have organizations participate by providing a craft package
or coloring page etc? </p>
