Columbia Tower Club - Monday Message: 6-22-2020

It's David George Brooke, that gratitude guy speaking on behalf of the Columbia Tower Club

And are we excited the club is open again, it opened last Monday the 15th

And this is the Monday message for the week of the 22nd, the second week the club is open

And I was down there a couple days last week, man, it's exciting to be back there again

There's excuse me, social distancing, and hand sanitizing and masks and different things, but it's all working well

Let me just read something we will start with limited hours Monday through Wednesday is from 11am to 2pm and then Thursday and Friday is from 11am to 6pm

Our operations are updated to meet the precautions of the day with policies and procedures in place intended to keep everyone, members, guests and the whole team safe, happy and healthy

So we're excited about that. So we got some events coming up this week, as always, Thursday seems to be maybe one of the busiest days of the week

This Thursday on the 25th, we have the business etiquette in the COVID-19 environment with Arden Kleiss at 12 noon

Social distancing has made virtual meetings invaluable for staying socially connected and professionally

So video conferencing meetings may have you wondering what is and isn't appropriate and how best to communicate Hollywood Square style

I like that. Whether you are a virtual meeting newbie or pro, learn digital etiquette essentials and best practices to effectively and courteously communicate virtually

Arden Kleiss is a business etiquette expert and author of Spinach in Your Boss's Teeth

I know Arden, she's a great gal. Also on Thursday at 4.30 is the live virtual happy hour

That's been a great success. Seeing everybody up on the zoom screen, and those are the weekly zoom calls for all the members

Also at five o'clock is Mixology Minutes with MJ. He's always got some new concoction to whip up and you can tune into that on Instagram and Facebook

And then at 5.30 is because we are home with Jesse Rhodes, the Columbia Tower is partnering with member and motivational speaker Jesse Rhodes for live virtual meetups

That's I've been on a couple of those. Those are great. Then on Friday the 26th is the last in the Concerts at the Club series with Stephanie Ann Ball

That's at five o'clock. And this is the last one, as I mentioned, please don't miss it

I've tuned in a couple of times. It's been great. And then lastly, on Friday, the 26th is Quarantine Cooking with Chef at 5 p.m

And then in the following week, yours truly, the Gratitude Guy, is putting on a presentation called Overcoming Quarantine Fatigue

Something I feel very strongly about. That's on Tuesday, June 30th at 10 a.m

Pacific time. And that will be a zoom call. We'll have the link in the email as always

And I have a couple of questions here. Are you fed up with the shelter in place aspect of the pandemic

Are you looking for some tools to help? Do you need some new coping mechanisms

These are all things that this webinar zoom call will help. Please join us for the Quarantine Fatigue virtual zoom presentation in this very interactive, and it is interactive, 45 minute zoom meeting

You will learn multiple ways to help you deal with the constraints of this pandemic

Also, there's a national virtual programs coming up from Club Corps. And one is an example is on Saturday, excuse me, August 1st, Sports in Corks with Greg Norman, the well-known golfer

And that's on Saturday, August 1st at 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time

So there are more details and sign in links on your email that you get weekly from Brittany

And as far as Brittany is concerned, if you have any other ideas, please get them to her to let her know about things that you might want to do for presentations

We'll probably do these presentations through the end of June as we open up more and more at the club

And of course, don't forget our kitchen. The club eats to go. We have the meal kits, the hot food, the beer and wine, and of course, the grocery and pantry items

And they all need a two hour notification are available Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for curbside delivery and pickup

And then lastly, I'd like to include my gratitude tip of the day. And today it is try expressing your gratitude for you and some of the great qualities that you exhibit

We tend to be very hard on ourselves and expressing gratitude for yourself can really help your self-esteem

So think about three to five things that you have that are really great qualities and just kind of reflect on throughout the day and be grateful you have those qualities

And again, that helps the self-confidence in the self-esteem. So that's it for this week

We will see you next week. Pretty sure and have a great day. I hope to see you down at the club now that it's open again

It's so exciting. But to have a great have a grateful day to remember, be grateful and never quit

Thanks
