WRAC ON HOLD...

WRAC OPERATION is "ON HOLD"
​NOVEMBER 17 - DECEMBER 13TH 
​IT'S TIME TO PIVOT...AGAIN!
It looks like this closure will indeed hold us out of the club through at least December 13th.  Though we are working closely with Washington Fitness Alliance to try to get better answers from the state and local officials as to why fitness was included in this shutdown, the answers are slow in coming.  The latest data continues to not support this decision.  The thing we can all probably all agree on is that we want our community and country to be healthy and strong (that's why we are all at the WRAC) but my hope is that benefits derived from staying active and fit can become a larger factor in these impactful decisions. There have been no reported cases at our club or any club in Washington state. For lots of details on current data available, please see the link below to the WFA website and Facebook pages. 
THESE "WRACTIVITIES" ARE AVAILABLE NOW:

• Courts 4-7 have nets and are available for your reservation, wracbookings.com 
• "Long John" Pickleball Play is on the schedule for everyday, 11:30 - 2:30 and Tuesday and Thursday evenings, 5:30-8:30.  These times are available on the app to reserve one of the 15 spots available.  If you wish to play at another time, please reserve court 4 or 5 on wracbookings.com .  
• Our terrific Fitness Instruction Team has rallied again to provide online Facebook Live classes. 
   These videos can also be found on our U-Tube Channel  on the day after each class.  
• Our Dynamic Duo of Clint and Charl are ready and willing to provide instruction on outdoor courts for groups of up to 4 students as weather and court conditions allow.  Please contact them directly to arrange day and time.  
• Tammi and Keith would love to be able to continue to offer Outdoor Private Training Sessions but we haven't quite figured out to do this yet.  If you are interested, please reach out to them directly to let them know.  If there is interest, we will find a way.   
• Massage Therapy is not effected by the fitness facility closure.  If you are would massage appointment at the club with Toddi Barclay, please call the club to arrange day and time.  
• FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27TH - Start your Christmas Shopping at the WRAC.  We'll help you get some great deals if you help us reduce our inventory.  Shoes, Shirts, Sweatshirts, String, Accessories, Paddles, Racquets...All will be marked down!!  The Shop will be open 11 am - 6 pm on this day for your shopping! Sale is limited to all in stock items.    

Our Board, who has persevered through months of multiple meetings, stress and concern, will be again be reviewing our options next week.  I thank them for their service to the club as a volunteer Board member.  I ask for your patience. We will need some assurance of when we can reopen before plans are put in place to do so.  We are ready to open the doors and flip on the lights as soon as we get the go ahead.  This is of course, unless the "rules" for operating are changed between now and then.  In the meantime, let's hope for good weather so we can continue to remain active outdoors, take some of the online "WRACtivity" fitness classes, schedule a lesson or play a little "long john" pickleball and tennis.  As it becomes possible to offer more programs and services to be offered within these facility restrictions, weather cooperation and budgetary constraints, these additions will be announced.  Stay tuned!!
In Health,
