Dear Tenants, June 12, 2020
It has been so nice to “reconnect” with so many of you over the course of this week. We are hoping each one of you are able to find something enjoyable with the current programming whether it be taking advantage of our socially distanced exercise classes, or simply getting outdoors for some fresh air.
There have been some positive briefings this week that have led to the Mohawk Valley being able to enter Phase 3 of reopening. Here is what that means for us internally:
- Regarding the salon, the equipment has shipped so we should be up and running for Thursday, July 2nd. Guidelines on this will be released in the next few weeks.
- Regarding the Dining Room, we will be reopening on Monday, June 29th.
o However, NYS guidelines only allows us to open at 50% occupancy, which means 4-tops will be capped at 2 people, and the 2-person table will be for couples only.
o In addition, next week you will be receiving a survey from the Kitchen which will ask your preferred dining seating time 4:00 pm or 5:00 pm – and preferred dining partners
o In order for us to plan ahead, we ask you fill out this sheet and hand it back to the kitchen ASAP. We will report back to you which dining time you received. We will not seat anyone outside of their dining time.
o In addition, your maître d will take your temperature prior to entering the dining room. Any temperature 100.4 F or greater will not be able to enter but instead will receive their meal via delivery.
o You must wear your mask until seated in which we will have a spot for your mask to be placed until your dining service has ended
o If your dining experience takes longer than 1 hour, we will wrap your food to-go as we need the next group of individuals to be seated.
o Your server will be wearing their mask the entire dining experience
o No guest meals are allowed in the dining room – however, they are available for takeout
o More details will be released next week as we just received these guidelines from New York State
As we get back to a “new normal” I understand that some people may not feel comfortable coming down to dinner yet, which we respect highly. If you would like your meal sent up just for one day, or until further notice, please call the Kitchen Staff to inform them at (315) 796-5141.
Stay safe & healthy,
Dominick M. Manfredo, Executive Director / CEO
