COVID 19 Vaccines at Trinity Center – The Road to an Open Trinity Center
At first, the coronavirus felt like just a far-flung disease spreading in a part of China few people had heard of before. Many read the news and most likely gave it little more than a fleeting thought and went about their day. Soon the virus spread and was in our country and people began to wonder what this meant. Then there were lockdowns, mask mandates, store closures, and the canceling of concerts and other big events. We were told many things like: “a month of lockdown and everything will be back to normal”, “once the summer and heat hit it will kill the virus”, and many ineffective home remedies and other misinformation. Here we are over a year later and the world is still largely reeling from the effects that the virus has had. Although there has been some return to normalcy the world still looks a lot like it did a year ago, but finally, it seems that there is a little hope to be had; a light at the end of the tunnel.
Barbara Jordan Celebration, 2021
We haven’t forgotten about our yearly Barbara Jordan fundraising event! Although we do not have a solid date yet, we are planning. Please consider donating in the meantime though and we hope to see you when we can!
We need front desk volunteers!
As COVID cases are lowering and vaccination rates are rising we are beginning to expand our services. We are hoping things will continue on this route and we can get back to some sense of normalcy and the center can operate as a community space once again in the near future.
Currently we are in need of people to help man the front desk on the weekdays from 9:30am to 12:30pm. The main duties would be to help check mail, offering hospitality, and other small tasks the front desk volunteers would do in the past.
Currently we limit the number of people who are in the center to around 10, although it varies on the day. We are strict about masks, keeping distance between folks, and disinfecting surfaces.
If you are fully vaccinated, ready and willing to serve please email trinitycenterfrontdesk@gmail.com and we can talk more!
