From the Club Manager July 2020

I have a few little reminders as we continue through these strange times:

  1. The restrooms are open—sort of. We still need to get bottles of disinfectant in there. Please clean the surfaces you touch.

  2. The club is not requiring members to mow under their boats and trailers this year. But if you can, it would be appreciated. 

  3. The clubhouse deck is being rebuilt and is looking good. Thank you to Gary Powell and his small band of masked carpenters.  

  4. EYC's internet connection is now faster. Let me know what you think (though I'm always happier if you choose recreate off-line while you are at EYC).

  5. If you owe money to the club, please pay up. This can be done online with a credit card. If you are unsure how, let me know and I can talk you through it.

  6. We have gate clickers for sale at $25.  Contact me if you’d like to purchase one.

  7. Pretty much all the group activities the rest of the year have been cancelled or postponed to next year. The exception is the Annual Meeting at the end of October and we will absolutely do that one. We are not sure yet how, but you might want to download the Zoom app to your smartphone or computer.

  8. What can you do at EYC under the state's Covid-19 restrictions? The Clubhouse and barbecue remain off limits, but one can sail or swim or sit and read. In park management different kinds of facilities are built for different kinds of activities. For example baseball fields are geared for concentrated and group activities while hiking trails are created for discrete and dispersed activities. These days at EYC, we are looking more at the latter because we can still get on the water! And that is a lot. And we still have water, though it is down about four feet right now, but still, it's a big lake.

  9. I would like to offer everyone a little encouragement. Please keep the faith that things will get better. Please keep hoping that we find a vaccine or a cure. And above all, keep demonstrating your love for your fellow boater by wearing a mask and playing it safe.
