COVID-19 GUIDELINES
We are all aware that the present endemic continues to affect the way we gather and connect.
Out of concern for the health of our children, immunocompromised, and larger community, there are precautions we’d like our guests to consider taking. Please consider testing yourself for COVID-19, 72 hours before attending the gala on June 5th and refrain from being in large groups after testing to make sure you’re negative so you can party freely! We also ask that you consider masking at the Gala when you are not eating or drinking. Following these basic precautions will allow us to enjoy ourselves safely. We want to send you home with Egbe Iwa merch and a smile on your face, only!
Thank you!
Join us June 5th, we look forward to hosting you!
