PLEASE CHECK THIS ANNOUNCEMENT FREQUENTLY FOR UPDATES! Last updated: 6/29/20

Street Slurry Seal Project: The original roadway closures that begin in July are still the same! The 'no parking' signs are out for the crack seal, which is not a roadway closure, only minor roadway / traffic impacts as the crews fill cracks. You can drive on that material within minutes. This is a City of Tigard project. Please contact them with questions. Construction line: 503.718.2670 or office line: 503.718.2584

Thank you to our 2020 Nominating Committee for identifying two great candidates for the SCA Board of Directors: Sharon Hughes & Penny Kellogg!

The Clubhouse is now open to residents again!

First of all, let’s be very clear—the COVID-19 virus is still prevalent and we have a very susceptible community. There still isn’t a treatment or a vaccine. By entering the Clubhouse, you assume all risk of contracting COVID-19.

There is a lot of information to share—please see your June newsletter (delivered to each residence via USPS already AND posted here on our website, www.summerfield55.org, About Us, Newsletters). Your July newsletter is on it's way! Here are the highlights:

*Please wear a mask / face covering when entering the Clubhouse.

*Please use the front door when entering the Clubhouse (touchless entry).

*You will need your fob for entry; front doors to remain locked at all times. (Remember to “beep” your own fob, even if the door is still open, this will help us with contact tracing if necessary). Need a fob? Contact the SCA office to schedule a time to obtain one.

*Please stay 6’ away from others (unless from the same household).

*Please honor the posted new occupancy limits of each room/area. The TOTAL GROUP SIZE LIMIT is 25 people.

*Please limit touching anything in the Clubhouse. You may want to use a tissue or paper towel to open doors, cupboards, handles, etc. If you do touch something, please use one of the 16 sinks with soap to wash your hands frequently and/or the hand sanitizer stations. Please also use the cleaning wipes to wipe down spaces that you’ve touched.

With the 6’ distancing in place, many of our regular groups and activities are unable to meet. Unfortunately, ALL cards and games and Monday Morning Coffee have been canceled until further notice.

For other groups, activities, Clubs and Committees, if you can maintain the 6’ distance between attendees and honor the new room occupancy limit and wear a mask/face covering, you are able to meet if you so choose. The group leader makes the decision on whether the group meets and you make the decision as to whether you want to attend. The group leader is also is in charge of monitoring the occupancy limit and 6’ distancing. As an attendee, you are responsible to help and also speak up if needed.

For the FITNESS CENTERS:

To stay 6’ apart from others, do not use a machine that is next to an occupied machine.

Use the wipes to wipe down the machine before and after use.

LIBRARY

Occupancy limit of 4 people.

New protocol:

Put returned library items in the marked bins outside of the Library (in the hallway).

Do not remove items from the bin.

Do not bring returned items into the Library.

Full return bins will go into “quarantine” for an amount of time.

Please use the new hand sanitizer station before entering the Library (located at the Library doors).

Wait your turn in the hallway if necessary, staying 6’ away from others.

Please limit your visit in the Library to 15 minutes.

It is recommended that you disinfect your new library materials when you get home.

PING PONG

Occupancy limit of 8 people.

Single play only, no doubles (unless you are from the same household).

The SCA Office is back to regular office hours of Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 12 noon. As always, here's how to contact the office if they are closed:

*Leave a voicemail at 503.620.0131

*Email sca55@comcast.net

*Put a note in the mail slot under the office window OR in the exterior mail slot (by the utility door, with a gold flap)

The Swimming Pool opening date is to be determined. Phase 1 does not include swimming pools. We are awaiting information from Washington County Health & Human Services on possible opening information. Note that if/when the swimming pool does open, there will be significant restrictions and protocols for the safety of this community.

As another reminder, if you feel ill, please do not come to the Clubhouse. Please continue to keep at least 6’ from others, wear your mask / face covering when out and about, wash your hands frequently and not touch your face.

We are counting on our residents to follow these new Clubhouse guidelines and we appreciate your cooperation! As always, if you have further questions or concerns, please contact the SCA Office (phone, email, note). Thank you!

For tee times, please call the Golf Shop at 503.620.1200. Please read and adhere to the new protocols for the Golf Shop and Golf Course. These can be found on the www.golfsummerfield.com page, or click on Golf tab above, or posted at the Golf Shop. Please also follow all regular golf rules, including NO TRESPASSING onto private property to retrieve golf balls.

Please DO NOT use the benches around the Summerfield community. They are not sanitized. We understand that not using a bench may be challenging for some and the alternate options include using a walker that has a seat, a golf pull cart that has a seat or walking closer to home and going home to take a break. For the benches around the Clubhouse, please wash your hands or use hand sanitizer if you touch them.

If you know of a neighbor that does not have computer access, please call to tell them this information. Thank you!
