As the club starts to move into phase 1 of re-opening, we were joined on the podcast by the President of the Stonebridge Board of Governors, Jim Colucci. Jim started out by giving his background and what has led him up to this point professionally and personally. Jim litterly went from the frying pan to the fire as he had to get right on things with the Coronavirus situation changing almost hourly. Jim said that John Ianotti and his staff have really been the backbone here at Stonebridge during this active pandemic crisis. The appear to be everywhere to make this situation as best as could be, given the circumstances. As the show was being recorded, I receved a note from John Ianotti that outlined many of the details regarding the phase one re-opening. The club will try to get back to some semblance of regular operations, going over and above some of the phase 1 guidelines set by the county. We will be reducing capacity to 25% of normal in all dining and eating spaces. They plan to utilize the Tiki Bar as much as possible. There will strict social distancing along with enhanced cleaning procedures. The dining room staff will all wear masks and gloves. Members coming into the club will have their temperature taken and must be wearing a mask before they can get seated. Of couse you can remove your mask to eat and talk. In addition, there will be no table hoping allowed. The club will continue to offer drive up service for take out orders, although the nightly cut off will be earlier so that the dining room staff can focus on the memners that opt to eat in the club house.
