Welcome to American Legion Post 49, South Haven, 6-15-2020. We are open! Below is a message from our Commander Jason Turner that was posted on Facebook.
“The new normal. As we prepare to open next week please know it won’t be exactly as it was before. There are new requirements to limit the number of customers allowed into the Post, seating at social distancing throughout the clubroom, cleaning requirements, and also what our staff can and cannot do. Throughout the entire reopening process remember to treat everyone with respect including our staff. They now have new requirements to wear a mask plus a higher state of cleaning, in addition to all their previous duties. There are new hand sanitizer stations throughout the Post for your use.
Don’t like something under the new normal? It isn’t the staff’s fault. Constructive criticism is always welcome so please see the Club Manager, or one of the officers. Just know oftentimes our hands are tied to new requirements.
If you are feeling sick please stay home. If you do venture out plan to relax, get comfortable with the new normal, and be happy for your first excursions out and about in months!
So, the new normal begins Monday, 15 June. We plan to begin Friday evening dinners and Sunday morning breakfasts; they’ll just be a bit different. The King of Diamonds will be back with drawings on Thursdays. Meeting schedules are generally back to normal times although following social distancing norms.”
