I hope everyone is enjoying the Virtual Games online. Sherrie has worked hard at giving everyone an opportunity to play daily. It seems we will be playing online for a while. I would also like to thank our Directors who are giving of their time. Your Board had a zoom meeting in July . We had to have the windows corked to prevent a leak, we bought several hand sanitizers and will have them mounted,and we are having a fixture replaced in the women’s bathroom. Lowen is looking into the price of plexiglass dividers for our tables. If we are not playing Bridge at our club before January, and it looks as though that will not happen because of the rise in Covid, we will need to decide on How to hold an election for OUR BOARD? More discussions will take place as we get closer to our opening. Sorry, I do not have good news about opening our club but the safety of our members are important to all of us.
