PRESIDENT’S CORNER, Bob Blanton President                                         The Club at WestPark


                              APRIL 2020                                                                         Community Association

                              I and the other Directors all hope that you and your families are doing well, and that   3240 Kennerleigh Parkway,
                              you’ve been minimally impacted by this extraordinary period in our history.  It             Roseville, CA 95747
                              seems that COVID-19 is not only taking its toll medically, but it’s putting a dent in   www.theclubatwestparkca.com
                              our social fabric as well.  Thought I’d check out Costco the morning of Friday the         Phone: (916) 771-7801

         way, so, since I didn’t need much anyway, I called it a day and headed for the house.  Later that evening,
         I’m watching the news and they’re showing people in Costco fighting over toilet paper.  Good Lord!
                                                                                                                 The Retreat Facility Hours
         Unfortunately, the day before, I had to ask Helen Warren to shut down the Wine Appreciation Group’s        Monday - Saturday 8 a.m. - 9 p.m.
         March event, based on our attorney’s advice.  I have to really commend Helen and her crew who had to            Sunday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
         pull back the throttles, hit the brakes, and abort at the last minute.  It so happened that we were        (Sunday’s until 9pm starting 4/15)
         responding to Gov. Newsom’s announcement of an updated policy on gatherings in the state of
         California, which, at that time, restricted gatherings of individuals of higher risk to “no more than 10   The Gym is available to Residents 24
         people, while also following social distancing guidelines.”                                              hours a day with a 24-hour Access Card.

                                                                                                                         Riverside Management
         Since then, our national and state policies regarding gatherings of individuals of higher risk, and the
                                                                            th
         general population as well, have changed significantly.  On March 19 , Gov. Newsom issued Executive               Pamela Ciapessoni,
         Order N-33-20 ordering all Californians to stay home except for essential needs.  See the following for        CCAM-PM.AA®-CMCA

         counsel, we had to close The Retreat to all personnel until further notice.  You’ve probably already seen
         messages to that effect.  On a personal note, I normally park my car at The Retreat to walk our dog down           Board of Directors
         Kennerleigh and Bob Doyle.  Yesterday was the first time since I’ve moved here that I was the only car          Bob Blanton, President
         in the parking lot…it was an eerie feeling.                                                                   Pat Patterson, Vice President

         The Davis-Stirling Act was not written with pandemics in mind.  It does provide for teleconferencing,           Dan Ketchum, Secretary
         but stipulates that Members need to be able to assemble in a location with a conference phone, and a              Ralph Jahr, Director
         Director or a person designated by the Board shall also be present at that location.  That’s not going to   Email: boardofdirectors@tcwp.net

         of the membership, we are in uncharted territory when it comes to the coronavirus.”  So, the Board will          Quarterly Meetings
