How do in-person meetings protect participants’ health? The Non-Fiction Book Club follows the health and safety guidelines issued by AAUW-Nevada County Branch and informed by the Nevada County Public Health Department. We can/will meet on Zoom if members agree and/or to protect members’ health due to the pandemic.
