The governor has tightened up the state’s pandemic-related restrictions, effective November 20, 2020. The only impact locally is to reduce Sondreson Hall’s maximum capacity from 50 to 25. Everything else remains the same. Here are the updated “Sondreson Hall Use Restrictions and Guidelines” . . .
The following restrictions, guidelines and notices apply to the use of Sondreson Hall under Montana’s “Phase 2” COVID-19 management plan, the November 17, 2020 “Directive on Group Size and Capacity,” and in accordance with Montana’s mask directive:
The maximum number of people in the hall at any given time is 25. For a given event, up to 25 chairs will be set up, dispersed as widely as practical. If there are no empty seats available, please do not enter the hall until someone else leaves. If the event requires tables, they should be dispersed as widely as practical (ideally at least 6 feet apart) with no more than six individuals seated at each table.
Face coverings are required within the hall for all individuals with the following exceptions:
- Children under the age of five. All children between the ages of two and four, however, are strongly encouraged to wear a face covering. Children under the age of two should not wear a face covering.
- Persons who have a medical condition precluding the safe wearing of a face covering.
- Other exceptions as defined in the Governor’s July 15, 2020 Mask Directive.
No food sharing beyond family groups except under specific circumstances. The exception is when food is distributed in a serving line with the individuals handing out the food using appropriate protection (masks and gloves).
During clean-up after events, please follow the disinfection guidelines posted throughout the hall:
“Please use spray bottle solution to disinfect all surfaces, including tables, counters, the lectern, the stovetop, and the sink area. Also wipe down any chairs that were used during the event. Disposable gloves are provided. The solution contains bleach so be careful with your clothing. Thank you for helping us keep our members and guests safe.”
Hand sanitizer is available several places throughout the hall. Please use it as needed.
If needed, disposable masks are available at the hall. The suggested donation for a mask is $1.00, but do not hesitate to use a mask just because you don’t have a dollar handy.

The North Fork Land Use Advisory Committee (NFLUAC) has scheduled a meeting for Tuesday May 11th at 6:00 pm at Sondreson Hall. This meeting will provide the community with an update on what the committee has learned so far from the outreach received the past month and discuss possible changes to the text amendment. We hope to see you there.
