We are living through an unprecedented moment in history as we struggle with the pandemic known as COVID-19. Our hearts go out to all who have already been affected by this terrible virus and those who may be affected in the future.
Washington State required us to close our doors as of March 16, 2020. The
Stay Home, Stay Healthy
order addressed on March 23, 2020 by Gov. Inslee requires CBRC to remain closed an additional 2 weeks. The latest extension would allow us to reopen April 9, 2020. We know this could be a moving target as things will be re-evaluated by the Governor based on the state of the public health conditions.
As a business we have been preparing ourselves to weather the sudden loss of revenue. Unfortunately, most of our expenses do not cease just because our doors are closed. In addition to the continued operating expenses, CBRC has chosen to continue paying employee benefits for our full time staff at this time. While we have had to place the majority of our staff on Standby we will continue to support them and bring them back as soon as possible. Our goal is to be able to reopen with the same level of service to our valued members.
Remember that April membership dues have been adjusted to run at 50% of normal dues to credit for being closed March 17 - 31, 2020. House charges will come out as regularly scheduled. Ancillary monthly charges such as Kid's Club, Locker Rentals, Ball Machine Rental, Alloy will also be billed at 50% of regular rate in April. Balanced Habits and Personal training monthly contracts will be extended one month. Pre-paid swim lessons and tennis lessons will be compensated through make up lessons once we have reopened.
Many have asked if they can continue to pay their full dues. As we have consistency in billing for all members, we cannot accept that at this time; but want to thank you for your generous and kind gesture.
We will address future lost days past March 31, 2020 as w
e have more information on the state of reopening.
This is a continued challenging and difficult time for everyone. We sincerely value having the unwavering support of our members and staff for many years. We are all in this together. This storm will pass and we look forward to welcoming you back as part of our CBRC family. Please be assured we will keep you informed regularly of any updates and pertinent information. Again we thank you for your loyalty and patience. We wish you health and peace of mind, and plan to see you soon!
In good health,
Your CBRC Ownership & Management Staff
