Hi Everyone,
While the Portland Flying Squads have been on a break for the past several months, the Flying Squads Network, which I am so grateful to be a part of, has been steadily growing. The setup of Flying Squads lends itself particularly well to adjusting for safety measures during a pandemic — mainly, we are already used to being outside all the time, caring for one another, and making decisions as a group.
We in Portland are looking towards the spring and summer to start up Squads again and cannot wait. I’ll keep you updated on that! Also, let us know if you are interested and what season (spring or summer) feels like the right time for you to start to join us.
In the meantime, some of my wonderful friends and colleagues wrote updates on Squads in new cities, towns, and mountains throughout the United States. You can read the full blog post here. I also recently published this article reflecting on the first day of my Flying Squads experience.
Warm regards,
Bria
