Good news.  The State SIR Board has approved reopening indoor activities as long as the Branches follow the indoor protocol.

 SIR Indoor Activities Resumption Protocol

  • Indoor activities (especially luncheons) require that the State has moved your respective Counties (Sacramento and Placer) to the Orange or Yellow Tiers
  • The State SIR Board has approved Branches to resume indoor activities provide that:

1) Each Branch has a written plan to resume indoor activities.

2) Each Branch BEC approves the plan prior to implementation.

3) Each Branch’s BEC meeting minutes state that the BEC has approved resumption of indoor activities.

  • SIR requires that any member or guest attending indoor activities to:

1) Sign the SIR waiver form.

2) Provide proof of Covid-19 vaccination by presenting their personal CDC Covid-19 Vaccination Record Card, or by presenting a picture of their card on

their phone or other electronic device.

Each Branch should maintain a written record of their members who have complied with the above requirements so that members do not have to present proof of vaccination at each event.

Branches are to continue to review and follow the County Covid-19 protocols for their events.

1) Branches are to follow the protocols for the county in which the indoor activities take place.

Note: If a Branch resides in Sacramento County, but holds an indoor event in Placer County, the Placer County protocols take precedence.

Big SIRs: It is essential that you follow these procedures in order to continue to hold indoor activities and to keep your members as safe as possible at indoor events.

  • Remember: SIR no longer has insurance coverage for Covid-19 nor other communicable diseases.
