060122: Vendola Cafe Open for Service

BOT:

Aloha UFOhana,

It looks like Nohea and I dodged another COVID salvo . . . after isolating, our tests came up negative. Mahalo to all of you for your sending your Mana and healing prayers our way.

While isolating I figured I’d make myself useful and do some maintenance on UFOHQ. Like clearing the landing strip of “some” wild grasses . . .

Rabbit’s Eye view of the grass. I think Jack Da Rabbit has been nesting in there somewhere.
SqL’s eye view of the grass, aka Field Of Screams. Wouldn’t be surprised if I find some are Triffids hiding in there!
Remember these guys?
Three and a half hours later . . . no Triffids and no sign of Jack either.
Another three and half hours and the front yard was done as well. Saw Jack running under the fence, into the back yard. Must be hiding under the wood pile . . .

For those of you who missed it, here’s a short video of Faith at the HHS Kerner Campus for AAPI pride day/month.

Mahalo Dan-O and Nohea for attending.

Btw, there are still a few seats left for Ken’s concert. Click the image below to RSVP on our Events Page while they’re still available.

Which bring us to this week’s Vanikapila.

Aloha All,

Quarantine mode for Vendola Café until further notice!

My son, who I had dinner with last night, tested positive for COVID this morning and is exhibiting symptoms. Though I tested negative 2 days ago and have no symptoms, I am invoking the Quarantine Protocol for UFOHQ. I’ll test again a few days from now.


In the meantime, please take note of the following from Brudda Joe Tato and the Elks.

We need your help with our largest fundraiser for our lodge.  We need volunteer bartenders, beer pourers and ID checkers to work our in our beer booth at the Marin County Fair over the 4th of July weekend.

All volunteers working in the beer both must complete the Marin County Fairs Responsible Beverage Services class.   The class is mandatory, no exceptions.  This class is different from the RBS class required by the state to work at the lodge bar.   Upon completing this two hour county training, you will be issued a badge with your photo which must be warn while working in the the beer booth at all times.   There is no need to sign-up, just show up and attend one of the classes listed below.

We will provide each volunteer a fair admission ticket to work their shift.  Sorry parking is on your own, so please plan accordingly.   

Please let us know which shift or shifts you would like to volunteer.   If you feel brave and want to be in charge of the booth, please let us know if you’d like to be a shift leader.

Thank you for volunteering.   Friends and family are okay to volunteer as long as they have completed the RBS class.
