7/22 District Facility Update
Hello Everyone,
Governor Brown has just issued an update to the Covid-19 state guidelines.
The following guidelines will be implemented on Friday, July 24th:
- Patrons five years and older will be required to wear a face mask at all times when inside the facility. Masks will only be required outside when six feet of distance cannot be maintained.
- Staff will be required to wear a mask at all times when inside the facility. The only exception to this rule will be if a staff member is at their desk, and can maintain six feet of social distance at all times. If a fellow staff member or patron is coming toward your desk, you will be required to wear your mask.
- All guests will be required to wear a mask during exercise. Whether attending a class, or working out in the fitness center, a mask will be required at all times.
- If you are swimming in the pool, you will not be required to wear a mask. But, if you are using the spa, or walking around the pool deck, locker rooms, and hallways, a mask will continue to be required.
Please let me know if you need clarification on any of these rules, or if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Jase Newton
Superintendent

Fly high, Tannah Grace, we will miss you…
With heavy hearts, we are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend and colleague, Tannah Graham. Tannah had been fighting a brave battle to overcome a respiratory illness that took her young life. Our immediate thoughts and prayers go out to Tannah’s family, and to all the lives she endeared and touched.
Tannah was a doting mother, rock and matriarch to her family. She had an exuberant, warm and giving nature. One of her most admirable qualities was her kind heart. She often was guilty of bestowing tiny acts of kindness and compassion without hesitation, always humble and unassuming.
As her co-workers, we all feel a deep personal loss. Tannah roamed the halls and classrooms of the District from a young age through adulthood. Many of us watched her grow up within these walls. This was her home. The District and the North Eugene community has lost a remarkable human being.
