1. Any member who needs to attend a Union office in person can make an appointment ahead of time by emailing a Union official. Members will be required to submit proof of vaccination at the time they make their appointment. Upon arrival at the hall, your QR code will be scanned as well as a temperature check and questionnaire. If you show up at the office without an appointment you will be refused entry.
