You will need to reserve a time slot to use each of the three areas in
order to maintain our maximum occupancy as required by the Governor’s
orders.
To reserve a time slot, please call either Smith (336-373-7564) or Trotter
(336-373-2927).
The showers are only used for showering before entering the pool. You
are not able to take a shower after leaving the pool.
Masks are required in all areas of the centers.
Both centers are cleaned by the City’s custodial staff each morning
before opening, and throughout the day by each center’s staff. Fitness
room members are asked to clean each piece of equipment before and
after tuse. Hand sanitizing stations are available throughout both centers.
Both centers have directional arrows on the floor to help with the flow of
traffic and social distancing. Smith Center patrons will enter from the front
of the building, but exit out the side door near the kitchen.
Your account will be adjusted/credited for the time that the centers were
closed.
If you have any questions about these new procedures, please call Smith
(336-373-7564) or Trotter (336-373-2927).
We look forward to seeing you soon!

Phone Pals
The goal of our Phone Pals Program is
to encourage socialization during an
isolating time through the use of phone
calls and/or emails. Our hope for the
program is that our Active Adults will
show support for each other and form
friendly bonds with one another, from a
safe distance.
If you would like to volunteer to give
phone calls/emails: please complete this
form.
If you would like to request to be assigned a Phone Pal and receive assurance
calls/emails: please complete this form.
We will do our best to match you up with someone from our Centers that suit
your needs and give them your contact information in the coming weeks.

in keeping you safe. Learn how to add emergency information to

Try a change of scenery — without going outside. Staying home
during the coronavirus pandemic has meant your view has not
changed. Take in a view from Mumbai, India, where a steady rain
drizzles in a park. Or from a balcony in Luneberg, Germany, where
a family splashes in a pool. Or from an apartment in Sao Paulo,
Brazil, with the sun setting over a construction site. Those are
just some of the everyday vistas on window-swap.com.

Buzzfeed's Tasty changed the cooking video space forever with its
signature overhead filming style which, of course, is now all over
the place. While you might know Tasty primarily for its over-the-top
recipes from the viral video era (remember when every food video
seemed to involve chicken, bacon, cheddar, and pizza dough?), its
YouTube channel is much, much more than that.
