March Manager & Membership Meetings Postponed: We have decided to postpone the monthly March 28 Manager Meeting and first quarter general membership meeting. We will make a decision as to whether to hold it at the end of April closer to that time.

Health and safety are all of our responsibilities. We encourage you to practice safety measures at home and when you’re out. Take measures to avoid unnecessary contact with large crowds and confined gatherings of people to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

We are monitoring the situation as it unfolds continuously, and following some extra precautions to keep everyone safe:

What we are doing:

  • Frequent sanitization of all door handles, equipment handles, counters and other surfaces
  • Frequent volunteer worker hand washing
  • Providing disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, tissues, etc.
  • Not working if we’re sick
What you can do:
  • Wash your hands when you arrive and leave, or use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol
  • Maintain a social distance of 3-6 feet when possible, particularly from anyone who is coughing or sneezing
  • Don’t shake hands with your friends and neighbors. How about waving or a nice Japanese bow?
  • Cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue. You know this now, right?
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
  • Please stay home if you’re exhibiting any symptoms of any kind
  • You should also stay home if you have had to take simple medications, such as paracetamol/acetaminophen, ibuprofen or aspirin, which may mask symptoms of infection
