Greetings.

After a long 14 months we are happy to announce that the IHSM Clubhouse will be reopening on May 20, 2021. We are anxious, as many of you are, to see old familiar faces that we have missed during this extended closure. There are some changes to policies and procedures that will be implemented with this reopening:

Everyone entering must sign in. This includes members as well as guests.
All members are reminded to use their swipe card upon entering. This will help the membership chair to identify any card problems that need to be addressed.
Members are still limited to 4 guests per membership.
Masks will be required for entry and when not seated and moving about the clubhouse.
Verification of vaccination will not be required.
The bartenders will be utilizing plastic drink cups.
There will be no planned activities at this time (Including private party rentals) with the exception of committee and monthly general membership meetings.

Hours of operation will be as follows:
Thursday 5:00pm – 11:00pm
Friday 5:00pm – 11:00pm
Saturday 12:00pm – 11:00pm
Sunday 12:00pm – 10:00pm

We are asking that all members do their part and be courteous towards all others by wiping down their tables and chairs when leaving. Sanitizing wipes will be available. This will assist our volunteer bartenders who will be busy with other tasks and not able to witness the comings and goings of everyone in attendance.

These policies and procedures will remain in place for the foreseeable future. Membership will be notified of any changes or additions to these procedures.
