President’s Message: Coronavirus Update (March 13)

Kim Fuller
President

Good afternoon residents:

I want to thank everyone for your kind support as we venture into uncharted territory. The Board is meeting daily to evaluate how to proceed. Please be diligent, responsible, and compulsive about following recommendations from government and medical agencies on how to best protect yourself during this time. Much has happened in just the last 24 hours, and more is still to come. We will do our best to get you updated information on how the HOA is proceeding but don’t hesitate to ask questions, many of you have provided us with information or events we missed. This will help us keep everyone informed about what is happening in the next few weeks.

There were some events we missed telling you about yesterday and fortunately many of you brought them to our attention. I have updated the list below to reflect those activities that we are cancelling. Events after April 5 will be evaluated as we go along, and we will get back to you as soon as we have information about programs and events after April 5. The only priority is that each of us stays healthy, so the Board is going to take steps to help in that endeavor.

For the moment both Clubhouses will remain open, but the Board has decided that the playing of all tabletop games in both Clubhouses will be suspended for the time being. Games like cards, Mahjong, jigsaw puzzles, etc. are prohibited in both Clubhouses till further notice.

The fitness center will remain open for now but please use all precautions. Keep at least 5’ between you and others, use the sanitizer wipes before and after use of all equipment, wash hands often, and if you don’t feel well stay home. Pools will remain open since they are disinfected with chlorine, but please keep apart when sitting on the deck.

Shadows will remain open, it is the big gatherings and buffet events we are eliminating. Shadows will be working on alternatives to cancelled events where buffets will not be used. Reservation times might be required so be sure to watch for information as it unfolds. We are trying to minimize the gathering of large groups of people at special events to help minimize any possible spread of the virus.

As of today, the events listed below are cancelled. Other events may be cancelled in the future and the Board will let you know as we proceed.

So far there is no reported case of the virus in our complex and with everyone’s diligence we will hopefully make it through in a healthy way.

Thank you,
Kim Fuller
