A Message from TAC Volunteer Leader- 30 Sept
| Keeping Your Club Safe: Return of Services |
| Dear Member, As you may have heard, the Japanese government has formally decided to lift the state of emergency in Tokyo. It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the Club will also be relaxing a number of restrictions in an effort to restore much of the Tokyo American Club experience to Members. From October 1, operating hours for Club dining outlets and recreation venues will be extended to close at 9pm. Alcohol will be available at dining outlets to parties of four or fewer until 8pm. In addition, the following policies and services are being relaxed and expanded: • Return of self-serve buffets beginning with the Thanksgiving Grand Buffet • Adjustments to restaurant partitions to improve Members’ dining experience • Return of hair dryers and massage chairs to Locker Rooms • Self-check-in at the Sky Pool and Fitness Center (membership card required) • Self-check-in at some Club entrances during off-peak hours (membership card and temperature check required) In keeping with the Club’s strong commitment to sustainability and cost control, towels will continue to be available from the Recreation desk. By distributing towels to Members on-demand, 10,000 fewer towels are laundered per month for a monthly savings of ¥400,000 – a positive impact for both the environment and Club finances. After such an extended period of uncertainty, I hope that these changes allow Members to return to some of their favored Club activities. With your continued cooperation, I believe that it is only a matter of time before the Club can offer the full range of experiences our Members have come to expect.. Stay safe.
