I wonder why Katie Belle’s is still open? Considering you have to be a Villager to enter, the prime target demographic for the coronavirus, these patrons are putting their health and any others they meet, at risk.

The statement details all Rec Centers will be closed as of 8 PM tonight. Does this mean pickleball is done ?

You are absolutely correct, this information is available on-line and everyone should sign up to receive these emails from the district office. Unfortunately, not everyone has signed up so I though I would share the information through this alternate channel.

Rec centers are open but all scheduled meeting are canceled. Billiard rooms are open with strict rules to follow and limits. You can still play shuffleboard, horseshoes, bocce, you just have to have you’re own equipment and water. So that eliminate’s at least 75% due to the don’t have their own equipment. Except golf and tennis. |
