A PROUD TUCSON, ARIZONA COMPANY                                      

Dear Valued Students and Guests


We wanted to let you know, we have always paid particular attention
to the sanitation of our facility. Even though much of our space is
"indoor/outdoor", we have always considered it to be very
important to direct a great deal of attention to
disinfecting surfaces we all may be in contact with.
OUR LATEST INFORMATION IS ALWAYS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST BELOW

OUR STAFF IS FULLY VACCINATED
UPDATES:
2.21.22
WE FOLLOW (EVER CHANGING) CDC GUIDELINES.
PLEASE VISIT OUR COVID POLICY PAGE FOR LATEST UPDATES.

BEGINNING MARCH 1, 2022 WE WILL
WAIVE ALL MASK REQUIREMENTS
(YIPPEE!)
***********************************************************************************
PROCEDURES BELOW, MARKED WITH  **
ARE STILL IN EFFECT

THESE ARE SOME OF THE SAFE PRACTICES WE
WILL BE USING BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER
OUR CLASSES AND CAMPS.
WE WILL,

* Restrict class sizes

  **  April 2021; We have installed large windows on the west wall
of Bula Bula to allow even more air flow.

 ** Change work stations to provide safe distancing
Each student has their own equipment.

  **  We have  moved some classes to our Indoor/ Outdoor, cooled/
heated facility; Bula Bula "on the Beach", more area for safe distancing

 **  a "beach" sand floor. We have four ceiling fans running
continuously and two large evaporative coolers pumping
a lot of fresh air through at all times in summer.

 **   We installed a camera on Mardi's demonstration table
which projects to a 10 ft screen. You will be able to see.

 ** Spray to disinfect all surfaces daily with an EPA
 approved (for SARS, N1H1 and COVID19) disinfectant.
Air Dry as NSF Standards require

 ** Teach and monitor proper hand washing
Provide Touch Free soap dispensers
  We MAY take everyone's temperature as they enter
 **  We will have gloves available
 **   We will also offer "To Goes" for you to take samples.
You will generally be able to take what you cook.

 **  We have an environmentally friendly, no odor, composting
restroom outside Bula Bula. It is cleaned top to bottom
and fully sanitized before each class. Of course we
also have "indoor plumbing".

 ** There is a hand washing station next to the john

 **  As we progress through this difficult time and as more
information is available and things change, we will
 update our procedures to reflect the latest precautions.

During 2022, as things change, we may be able to adjust some
of our procedures. We will not relax any sanitation rules but
hopefully we will be able to increase class sizes a little.

As we all become more concerned regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19),
we want to assure you that the health and safety of our guests and students is
our primary focus. Please be assured we are taking the necessary precautions to
ensure a safe environment throughout our classes and entire property.
We encourage often and thorough hand washing during classes
and we provide gloves for use when needed.
We spend as much time as is needed cleaning our property each day, and we have
added additional efforts to our cleaning and sanitizing procedures. We currently utilize
a hospital-grade disinfectant and have expanded the use of this disinfectant throughout
the property to include daily treatment of areas including restrooms, food preparation,
teaching and eating areas. We are also include sanitization efforts in areas utilized by
our team members, including kitchens, restrooms and dining areas.  

We communicate among our team members regarding recommended steps to take
to reduce the likelihood of infection. In doing that, we rely on recommendations by the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other public health experts. Before classes we 
schedule staff member informational sessions. In those sessions we will talk about those
recommendations and the precautionary steps we are taking. 

Here are some highlights,
these procedures will continue during and
after this virus crisis.

• We have enhanced techniques used to clean the workspaces in which we conduct our classes
• We have heightened sanitizing attention to common areas, as well as the doorknobs,
pens and pencils, work surface and all the usual places.
 You will find hand washing sinks and soap easily available.
• We will provide sanitary gloves to use during class.
• Even though food generally does not carry or transmit viruses, we
 will, as much as possible have each student only handle their own food.

In addition, while we are taking steps to ensure the welfare of our students
and  ourselves we will always be adjusting our practices to reflect what
seems to be best at that time.

This includes:
• If you are not feeling well or an immediate family member is not feeling well,
we ask that you stay home to avoid passing it to others
We take everyone's temperature as they enter
• Keep your hands clean and wash your hands properly
(we will have a handout)
• Regularly wiping down and sanitizing your workspace
PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLE

We appreciate your confidence in us as we navigate this situation.

As always we are committed to providing a safe and
wholesome environment where the health and safety
of our students, guests and employees is assured.

Sincerely,

Bob and Mardi Burden
