AMPHITHEATER is open for worship

GRF committee working on safe reopenings for all LW facilities

The COVID-19 Ad Hoc Committee has passed several emergency operating procedures to continue safely reopening the amenities in Leisure World.

At its Oct. 27 meeting, the GRF Board of Directors approved 120-day emergency procedures for 10 additional facilities. The results are posted at lwsb.com and in the chart (see page 2). It provides a snapshot of the reopening plan and will be updated regularly.

Once the GRF Board has approved start dates for the various amenities, the user protocols will be published in the LW Weekly.

The board has approved the reopening of the Amphitheater for religious services, commencing Nov. 6, by reservation only. Religious organizations may contact Recreation at kathyt@lwsb. com to book a service, subject to availability.

Veterans Plaza is expected to begin accepting reservations for smaller religious services shortly.

The Recreation Department is in the process of hiring and training extra Fitness Center attendants and preparing to register GRF members who intend to use the newly remodeled facility under the new check-in system.

It will allow people to swipe their ID cards as they enter the Fitness Center.

Once registration begins, members may reserve a time to have ID cards activated by going to www.lwsb.com/reserve and choosing “Fitness Center.” Former registrations are no longer valid, and access to the facility will be denied to anyone who has not registered under the new system.

It is hoped the Fitness Center can be opened at the end of the month.
