Messages from the GM

Dear Members,

First, let me just say that it has been incredibly inspiring to watch your resilience, patience, and creativity through this difficult time. Even as we have been unable to physically gather, our mission remains constant: to create and ensure a beautiful oasis for you, our members, to enjoy together. A place to come together, meet, eat, share, and be inspired every day. Even as we worked to adapt to the shifting demands and restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic over the past few months, and to find ways to continue to offer you services and support online, the need for in-person human connection remains strong. As the world is slowly starting to open back up, Clubs like ours are carefully considering how to best resume operations. Your safety and ours is at the forefront of our minds in this. Nothing else is more important. Taking all of the state, county, and health guidelines, regulations, and stipulations into account, we are now actively working toward a July

6th limited reopening of the Club to members and your

guests and we could not be more excited. We are, as I write this, in the middle of a number of necessary projects that we must complete before we are able to reopen. The bulk of these projects are scheduled for completion on July 3rd. Some of this work includes the training of staff, as well as putting into place various physical and documentational requirements we need to be in compliance with OSHA/CDC/ SB county of health rules for opening. Myself and our dedicated admin staff are working daily to get operations up and ready, and I cannot wait to open our doors to you, our dear members, on July 6th for regular, daily meal services. See pages 6-7 for our

full UClub Reopening Plan and the necessary regulations for everyone using and visiting the

Club. Please note that due to space restrictions in connection with the current reopening regulations we do ask that you

please make reservations for meals.

You can do this, and find all of the latest information about our reopening schedule and more on our brand new UClub website. You can find it in the new Member’s Area. You should have received an email with your login credentials and instructions for using the new site. If you did not, please let Ammanjah know right away at memberservices@uclubsb.org.

Moving forward the website will be our main means of

communication with you, including Club updates and news, daily menus, meal and event reservations, online bill pay, and more. Please do take a moment to get yourself logged in and familiar with the new site, and please do not hesitate to reach out to Ammanjah for any and all website assistance at any time. I am so pleased that we were also able to use this time to paint, refurbish, and attend to some much-needed maintenance at the Club, among all of the other things listed above. I cannot wait for you all to enjoy our beautiful Club again. We can’t predict when this global pandemic will pass, or what the next few months might bring exactly, but we take comfort for now in knowing that we will very soon be able to come together at the Club. Together, we will move through this turbulent time to see our Club thrive and grow better than ever, and to create ever more lasting memories and cherished moments. Thank you for all you do and for being such an integral part of our Club,

Sarah Rudd UClub General Manager Sarah.Rudd@uclubsb.org
