COVID POLICY: Please remember, face coverings that cover your mouth and nose, must be worn at all times when inside the Club except when actively eating. In the dining room, please wear your mask when going through the line. You may remove it when you get to your table and begin eating and replace it when you finish. Masks are NOT required outside.

WRISTBANDS: Wristbands are still required when on the Club property including porches, walkways, parking lots, etc. They are not required on the 2nd or 3rd floor. Please help security by wearing your wristband or displaying it in a visible place. Guest wristbands can be picked up in the office at no charge. If a member forgets their wristband, they can get a guest band. ONLY members may wear a blue, permanent wristband. Please do not give them to your guest.

PARKING: Either a member parking decal or guest pass must be displayed on every car in both parking lots. Cars without a decal or guest pass WILL BE TOWED! Guest passes may be purchased for $10 per day in the office. If a member is driving a car without a decal, they can pick up a guest pass for the day at no charge. If the office is closed, place a sheet of paper with the member’s name and number on the passenger side of dash. The parking rule is in effect all year – both on season and off season.

ANNUAL MEETING: Regular Members – mark your calendars for the Annual Meeting on Saturday, October 23 at 2:00pm. At this point, we are not sure if the meeting will be held inside in the dining room or in the parking lot. We are following Covid trends and will make the decision closer to the time of the meeting. Check your mail for the meeting notice which will be mailed by September 23.

COVID UPDATE

New Hanover County has adopted an indoor mask mandate which will begin on Friday, August 20 at 5:00pm. The Hanover Seaside Club will enforce this mandate for all areas inside the building, including the snack bar and dressing room areas. Masks that cover the mouth and nose must be worn inside, by vaccinated and unvaccinated members/guests, except when actively eating. The mandate applies to everyone over 2 years of age. Like last year, in the dining room and snack bar you will be required to wear a mask until you sit at your table and begin eating. When you finish your meal, you should put your mask on. Those renting rooms on the 3rd floor will be required to wear masks in the hallway and common areas.

Masks will NOT be required outside on porches, parking lots, walkways, the pier, etc. You may read the mandate HERE.

FULL MOON PARTY ON THE PORCH: August 14, 6:00-9:00 ~ Come to the beach and enjoy music by DJ Lee Pearson and food from Bill’s Food Truck. There will NOT be a cash bar for this event. BYOB and we will supply napkins, cups, and chasers. This is the last porch party of the season, so enjoy one last night with your Club friends. Please RSVP by Friday, August 13 at noon so we know how many to expect.

KAYAKS AND SAILBOATS: The season is quickly coming to an end and hurricane season is here. If you store your kayak or sailboat on the racks at the sound, be sure to tie them down when you are finished using them for the season or if you will be out of town during the fall when tropical storms and hurricanes are prevalent. We hope for a quiet fall, but you should be prepared!

COVID UPDATE: Most of you are probably aware that Covid is surging again in eastern North Carolina. Number of cases, percent positive, and hospitalization rates have all increased significantly in the past few weeks. For that reason, the Covid Committee has made the following recommendations:

Masks are recommended when inside the building for both vaccinated and unvaccinated members and their guests. With the Delta variant, vaccinated people can be infected and transmit the virus; however, the vaccine does protect those vaccinated from severe illness resulting in hospitalization and death. Please wear your masks to protect those who are unable to be vaccinated.

Only one member/family will be allowed in the office at the time. The space is small and does not allow for social distancing. Please be patient and remain in the hallway if there is someone ahead of you in the office.

The Hanover Seaside Club is following Governor’s Executive Orders, so if Governor Cooper makes changes, we will follow them. Please watch your e-mail, the blog, and FaceBook for updates.
