Hi Everyone,

You may or may not know, but our CSMS 55+ Board met this past Wednesday Feb 16th and one of the main subjects that was discussed was our stance on COVID and what if any restrictions we will implement or follow.

As everyone is fully aware, this is an extremely Hot Topic.

While we expect that the vast majority of our members are fully vaccinated we have to expect that there will be some that will not be vaccinated. And that is a fairly common trend in all settings and all groups like ours.

We all know that worldwide, this is a very Fluid situation and seems to change day by day.
And, as you all know, closer to home, the requirement for vaccinations is being rescinded, and masks will soon not be required. This is also happening in several other provinces in Canada, as well as other countries.

After much discussion and deliberation at Wednesday nights meeting, the Board decided, as many organizations have, that we will follow whatever the Provincial and Municipal regulations are at the time.
This means that there will be no requirement for either vaccination or masking in order to participate this summer, at least if things remain as they are now.
We still recommend that everyone to try and social distance in the dugouts as much as possible and to not share equipment.

Regards,
PM

Hi League,

You may be surprised to learn, as I was recently, that technically you need to be a member of the Triwood Community Centre in order to order food and beverages at JT’s Lounge. The reason for this has something to do with their liquor license.
Triwood tells me that it would be a big help to them to have CSMS League guys take out Triwood memberships. They measure the success of what they do, in part, by their membership totals.

Memberships are FREE FREE FREE! So if you are a JT’s regular, why not help out our valued partner by taking a moment to sign up for a FREE membership online. You’ll be helping us further foster our great relationship with a very important component of our league.

Here are 2 Links to help you get signed up for membership.

First is to the Triwood Community Associations main Website:
https://www.triwoodcommunity.com/

And the second is to the membership sign up page:
https://www.amilia.com/store/en/triwoodcommunity/shop/memberships

Select the free 2 year membership and get signed up soon. The access to beer you save may be your own!

Hi League,

Just an FYI.
A League member has reached out to Say that their email account has been Hacked and fraudulent emails are being sent out and apparently several league members have already received emails from this fraudulent account.

So please do not open any emails with “nradman” anywhere in the email name. If you receive one, be sure to add it to your spam folder.

As always, we all must be diligent when opening emails and never open an attachment unless you are 100% sure of the sender.

Regards,

Paul M
