                   Cleaning -          The building has stepped up and advanced our cleaning procedures to keep
                   the environment as clean and safe as possible. You will notice that there is a half-hour between
                   sign-up times; this is so staff can clean common surfaces ie. door handles and bleachers etc. Hand
                   sanitizer stations are located throughout the building.

                   Masks -         Per the Governor orders you must wear a mask when you enter and exit the
                   building and must have one in all common areas ie hallways bathrooms. Depending upon the
                   activity you are participating in you may be able to remove the mask for that activity. Non-
                   compliance will result in expulsion from the facility. If you forget your mask at home ask a staff
                   person and they will provide you with one.

                   Social Distancing -                 It is important that we maintain proper social distancing
                   protocols while participating in activities as well in common areas of the building. If you are

                   others. For classes and activities please try to maintain at least 6’ of space between yourself
                   and other participants when possible.
