Re: Trick or treating this year
The HOA has not officially taken a position on Trick or Treating this year.
However, the CDC and the Fairfax County health department both say it's okay for kids to trick or treat IF:
* They are wearing an appropriate cloth or medical face mask (plastic costume masks with mouth and nose holes don't count)
* They stay outside
* They stay in small groups, avoiding crowds on doorsteps and in other places.
* Of course, nobody should trick or treat or give out candy if somebody in the family has symptoms.

So speaking as the parent of a 7 year old, we're participating in trick or treat this year. If everybody is masked, it's safer than school because the kids are outside and moving around. When grown-ups answer the door at our house, we'll be in face masks, and I hope other houses will do the same.
Trick or Treat is usually a GREAT experience in our neighborhood, and we mostly didn't do it last year. I think we can give our children that positive experience this year and be safe if we all take reasonable precautions.
I do ask that if a household chooses not to participate in trick or treat this year, that's completely reasonable, so don't hassle people about it. If the porch light is off, leave that house alone.
