Updated: 5/22

• The Joe Taylor crew continued cleaning contents (including 4 tables and 20 chairs from the Library), the Bingo board and the wall and floor surfaces. They had a sub-contractor come to remove and clean the window treatments, but they had to come back to clean them in place. We are requesting that the main room walls be sealed and painted to eliminate the odor. Color will be decided later.
• The ‘Reconstruction Committee’ has completed interviews with general contractors, and I am talking with our lead adjuster to identify any objections and the process for hiring. Selection should be announced shortly. The first expected reconstruction activity will be removal of the debris from the fire. This will include walls, cabinets, ceilings and floors from the kitchen through the game room.
• We (the Board) have decided to dispose of the couches from the main room because they still, and will probably always, smell smoky. Replacement will be considered later.
• We are expecting a check to pay for estimated contents cleaning and replacement. We have questions on the process and timeframe constraint (180 days) since we don’t have space to put stuff. (We may buy pool tables and ‘store’ them in a usable arrangement in the main room until they can be moved to the rebuilt game room.)
• Attendance at the Board meetings, since the fire, has been impressive. Attendees have been attentive, focused and respectful. (More than double the typical Board meeting attendance.) When we can return to meetings in the main room we will be setting up rows of chairs, without tables, in expectation of and to allow for continued large attendance. 

We remind you again that the clubhouse is not open for access until the cleaning and debris removal is completed. If you need access for a practical reason, contact a Board member or Bill Lee for escort.

 Clubhouse Update from the Board of Directors

Following are actions and activities toward restoring the Clubhouse that happened over the last week or so.

•  We started clearing a path from the front entrance to the library to make traveling through the hallway to access the Library / Ceramics Room less hazardous.
• We bought thirty-one (31) corrugated boxes for storing material from the clubhouse.
• Library club representative looked at the condition of the books and puzzles in the library and decided that cleaning books and games might not be cost effective. I asked Carlos (Joe Taylor) whether it was feasible to clean and reuse. If it isn’t cost effective, we will dispose of the books, puzzles and games and depend on new contributions to ‘restock’ the library.
• The path from the front entrance to the library was further cleared for safety and to allow access for carts and dollies to be used to move material out of the library.
• The Ceramics Club sorted through all the paints, books and projects. All they thought could be usable were removed from the clubhouse for further evaluation.
• The Kitchen Committee and EGGS went through the kitchen and adjacent storage rooms. Usable items were removed to the Entertainment shed to be stored until the kitchen is returned to use. Refrigerator contents and damaged or unrecoverable material was thrown away.
• Chorus representatives removed sheet music from the closet in the library, and three (3) file cabinets, and will be stored at a member’s house until the clubhouse is returned to use.
• Electricity and A/C are restored in the wood shop and fitness room. A combination lock will be installed on the poolside door to the fitness room and then access can be restored. Electricity to the Main Room is also restored, but HVAC will not be turned on until the ductwork is cleaned.
• The Joe Taylor crew continues cleaning the Main Room and its contents. The HVAC team started on cleaning the air handlers and ducting.
• Bill Lee and team interviewed the first potential General Contractor for the restoration project. Prepared questions were answered and ‘other situations and opportunities’ during the restoration process were discussed.

Though we are making progress, there are still limitations.

1. Access to the Woodshop and Fitness Room will NOT be available until the combination lock is installed on the poolside door. The lock should be installed within the next week. Access to the Woodshop will be through the Fitness Room to open the sliding glass door from the Woodshop. Material and tools can then be moved through that sliding door for working. The Woodshop must be cleaned and the sliding glass door shut and locked before exiting through the Fitness Room when finished working.
2. Cleaning in the Main Room is still ongoing so it will not be returned for use for at least another two (2) weeks. Activities that will be allowed to return to the room, and when, will be decided by the Board at the next meeting.
3. Access requests to remove additional material must be authorized and accompanied by Facilities. Please adhere to all access restrictions for your safety. Access restrictions to the area around the fire damage may change and will be strengthened when a General Contractor is selected and they begin the recovery process.

We have secured a location to hold our Zumba Gold Toning classes.

Pelican Cove West has been kind enough to make it affordable for our Tuesday and Wednesday at 10AM classes to continue. Since I will be paying rent the charge per person per class will be $4.

Classes will resume on Tuesday January 11 @ 10AM! Hope to see you there!
