Covid-19 is a worldwide pandemic of which Sky Soaring members are not immune. The IDPH is reporting an uptick of cases in Illinois. The Board of Directors is aware that some members, including some directors, have become lax in following the safety procedures put in place last spring requiring social distancing, the use of masks, hand sanitizing and gloves where/when necessary.
The Board is also aware that we have some members that have been staying away from the club because of those that are not following the protective rules. This is not fair to those members that have paid full dues but feel that they may be at risk by coming out to Sky Soaring. The club stands the risk of losing these members simply because some didn’t follow the rules.
Consequences of having a club member contact CV-19 would shut down operations for a minimum of 14 days and would put other members in quarantine that may have come in contact with him/her. We must all be proactive and vigilant to prevent this from happening to ourselves, our friends and families, guests, and our Sky Soaring community.
Repeated individual noncompliance of the rules will result in being asked to leave the field until they are willing to comply with the clubs safety procedures that are put in place. This is for everyone’s benefit.
The Sky Soaring Board of Directors

Hello:
Attached is a link to the Texas Medical Association COVID-19 Risk Chart. The chart simply shows what the potential risk of an activity is. Using a face covering and frequent use of hand sanitizer is a good start. I have also attached the Nurse Molly Teaches Cross Contamination video for those who wear gloves – especially the same pair of gloves all day. After watching the video you may want to toss the gloves and use hand sanitizer or soap and water.
Regards,
Rich
