I hope this message finds all our Salle members safe and healthy. The Salle has been working on a reopening plan based on the guidelines provided by the State’s Phase II Opening Plan.
Unfortunately, King County and the City have not yet entered Phase II, as I am sure you are all well aware. We hope that this will occur sometime in June; we will provide you with the details of our reopening plan before the end of the week.
Until then, we are asking our members to, once again, donate their membership fees if they are financially able to do so. If you are not able to do so this month, please contact us so we can turn off payment notifications to you. These donations are tax deductible and keep in mind that some employers match donations. Let us know if you need a receipt for matching purposes.
We will be expanding our online class offerings this month; they will continue after we enter Phase II and into Phase III. Please take advantage of these online classes, regardless of whether you are currently donating to the Salle. Contact us if you need the link information for these various online classes.
Salle Auriol Seattle was successful in securing a Payroll Protection Plan (PPP) loan, providing us with additional funds to pay our full-time staff. The club has used some money from our “rainy day” fund every month, but it remains healthy due to the awesome generosity of our members. Thank you!
Please be on the lookout for more information about the Salle’s next steps towards fully opening.
Best Regards,
Marshall Hibnes
President, Salle Auriol Seattle
