There are obvious risks to meeting indoors for prolonged periods prior to a COVID-19 vaccine or treatment. The decision to attend is the responsibility of each individual attendee. JYC assumes no liability for possible exposure and any resultant illness.
We will space tables at 6 or more feet apart and provide hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. Food servers will wear face covering and gloves and will serve the food to you. If you are sick or you have a vulnerability, please stay home. If you wish to wear face covering, feel free to do so. Do not expect all attendees or bar hosts to be wearing face covering. Social distancing is recommended outside of your "bubble".

| If you are not a Juneau Yacht Club member but are interested in joining the Club, please come to one of our Thursday evening Socials as a guest of a member or come and introduce yourself to any Board member. We will be glad to make you our guest, show you around and discuss the benefits of joining. Under our Club Liquor License, non-members are not allowed to purchase alcoholic beverages but your host may treat you and you are welcome to join us for dinner! |

Our terrific Dinner Manager, Lisa Hickman, has offered to help make Social dinner preparation and serving easier!

Covid-19 is hitting hard and we are all in this together. Lifetime members were solicited to donate to the Club last month via email. We are opening this opportunity to all members via the following options:
- Prepay 2021 Dues. JYC has made it easy! Please click on the link below or send a check for $100 per member to PO Box 20146, Juneau, AK 99801.

- Make a Donation. Click the link below to donate to the Club. There is also a Donation button near the bottom of this newsletter and on the website should you care to provide additional support to your Club.

- Support Socials. You are supporting the Club when you buy beverages and dinners. If you do not wish to attend in person, you can still order takeout dinners (see above). Volunteering to host the bar, setting out tables and chairs, as well as cooking and serving dinners is another means of support.
