Salle Auriol Seattle Membership Update
November 2020
Hello Salle family! It is hard to believe that 2020 is nearing the end; but 2021 is looking better and better to me all the time.
This year has been a series of two steps back, two steps forward, two steps back for the club and our members. After being open for quite a bit of fencing and training activity, we are closed again to comply with the State’s temporary closure mandate.
While I remain hopeful that we will be able to re-open in December, as outlined in the mandate, it is possible that the State will extend the closure requirement through the end of the year as we all continue to protect ourselves from this pandemic.
The club has provided online Zoom training content since the first club closure, and it continues to be available and some offerings have expanded. Contact us if you are interested in taking advantage of any existing or new Zoom content.
The club and I remain sincerely thankful to our members for their continued financial support! As a reminder, dues and class fees are considered tax deductible donations now (and some corporations provide matching contributions, such as Google and Microsoft), which have been essential for the club to meet our monthly fixed expenses. We will be providing donation statements at the end of the year.
Our financial reserve fund, although continuing to shrink every month, is still healthy, and covers our monthly shortfalls.
Online payment methods continue as normal. We understand that your financial situation might have changed during this time; please contact Kundry if you need to make adjustments to your account.
I look forward to the time, hopefully soon, where we will be back to taking two steps forward, then walking, then running!
Please have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
