GRF Board to discuss reopenings Dec. 15
A special GRF Board meeting has been scheduled for Dec. 15 at 10 a.m. with a single agenda item—Reopening, Trust Property for Active Outdoor Activities (Golf, Veterans Plaza, Mission Park and the Amphitheater).
Among other considerations, the board will discuss opening facilities for religious services under emergencyuse policies. According to the Orange County Health Care Agency, COVID- 19 cases are on the increase in Seal Beach with far greater impact on older people (see charts on page 2).
In-person attendance at the meeting will be restricted due to current health and safety orders. But the board wants community input.
GRF members are encouraged to make their opinions known as follows:
• Email comments to grfboardaction@ lwsb.com
• Mail comments to GRF, PO Box 2338, Seal Beach, CA, 90740
• Drop off written comments to the Stock Transfer outdoor service window or Finance outside check drop-off slot.
• Schedule Zoom virtual attendance by contacting Deanna Bennet, executive coordinator, at deannab@lwsb.com. Deanna will provide the Zoom link information and reserve your position for comments.
It is important to note that a large percentage of Leisure World shareholders/members fall into the “at risk” category (see chart at right).
People of any age, even children, can catch COVID-19. But it most commonly affects middleaged and older adults.
The risk of developing danger- ous symptoms increases with age. People who are 85 and older have the highest risk of serious symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
In the U.S., about 80 percent of deaths from the disease have been in people age 65 and older.
Risks are even higher for older people when they have underlying health conditions, according to the Mayo Clinic.
In addition to member input, the GRF Board is asking residents who have tested positive for COVID-19 or currently have the virus to anonymously report this information to (562) 431-6586, ext. 312. Do not leave your name when reporting.
